F.I.R.S.T.™ Work Conditioning distinguishes itself from conventional physical therapy by focusing on job-specific rehabilitation that simulates real work tasks, aiming to improve functional performance directly related to your job. Unlike traditional physical therapy, which primarily addresses pain relief and mobility, F.I.R.S.T.™ emphasizes overall strength, endurance, and flexibility, preparing patients for the physical demands of returning to work.

During a typical F.I.R.S.T.™ Work Conditioning session, you can expect:

 

  • Warm-Up: Gentle stretching or low-impact exercises to prepare muscles.
  • Strength Training: Targeted exercises to build strength and flexibility.
  • Cardio Conditioning: Activities like walking or cycling to improve stamina.
  • Job-Specific Tasks: Simulations of work-related movements, such as lifting or pushing.
  • Balance Work: Exercises to improve stability and coordination.
  • Injury Prevention: Education on proper body mechanics and safe techniques.

The typical duration of the F.I.R.S.T.™ Work Conditioning program varies based on individual needs and goals, but it generally lasts between four to six weeks. Sessions are often held multiple times a week, allowing for consistent progress and reinforcement of skills. This structured timeframe is designed to optimize your recovery and prepare you effectively for a successful return to work.
