SERVICES: INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Schubbe Resch Chiropractic and Physical Therapy Centers provide the following services to area industries: PERSONALIZED ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENTS A proper ergonomic program not only fits the work for the worker, but also fits the worker for the work. Some cumulative trauma injuries occur because of poor work design - these must be corrected, if possible. However, an ideal ergonomic workstation does not necessarily force the worker to work properly or take proper care of the working body. SERVICES Chiropractic Care Physical Therapy Pilates Yoga Industrial Relations An effective prevention program should address preventative stretching, posture relief, job rotation, alternative material handling techniques, training in personal work habits and self-care for the working body. We have worked with numerous companies to address work issues that put employees at risk of injury. This includes assessing risks from an ergonomic design, assessing cumulative motions and postures, assessing form of the worker, and assessing knowledge of the worker in preventing injury. We have evaluated whole companies, specific workstations or individual employees. In addition, other services we provide include: New hire training Task specific stretching programs Involvement with safety or ergonomic teams On-site early intervention Input into restricted duty or work hardening programs CUMULATIVE TRAMA PREVENTION Addressing upper extremity and low back injuries related to repetitive work environments.
