At Injury Prevention Plus, our team of ergonomists—backed by kinesiology and physiotherapy expertise—specializes in helping employees return to work safely and confidently. Whether the injury is occupational or non-occupational, we ensure that job demands align with the employee’s current abilities and provide coaching to support a successful reintegration.
Our Process: 4 Key Components
JDA/PDA Review
We begin by reviewing the Job Demands Analysis (JDA) or Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) to understand the physical and cognitive requirements of the role.Job Matching
We compare the employee’s Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE) with the job demands to identify compatible tasks and recommend accommodations where needed.Return to Work Assessment
Conducted on-site, we assess the employee’s posture, movement patterns, and work environment. We provide ergonomic coaching, recommend modifications, and ensure the setup supports a safe return.Job Coaching
We collaborate with the employee, employer, and healthcare providers to monitor progress, adjust plans as needed, and support a gradual return to full duties.
