Work Rehabilitation (WR) is an individualized program to assist workers in meeting the
demands of a specific job using progressive exercise, work simulation tasks and education. This
program has two levels of intensity.

Work rehabilitation – Conditioning (WR-C) is intended for workers with Sedentary to Medium
physical job demands. This program is 2-4 hours in duration, 3-5 days per week. The focus
with WR-C is generalized reactivation and conditioning. PRC is currently offering this program.

Work rehabilitation – Hardening (WR-H) is a more intensive type of a WR program. It is
intended for workers with Medium to Very Heavy physical job demands with a program from 2-8
hours in duration. PRC offers this program only as available.
Both programs can be combined with modified or transitional work, and frequency of therapy
sessions can be scheduled accordingly.

The focus at Pacific Rehabilitation is to restore strength, endurance and function, as well as the
development healthy work habits to prevent future issues. Our occupational and physical
therapists work together with other providers coordinate care and ensure a successful return to
work.
