BioErgonomics

Are you ready to improve
your return on investment?

Employees represent the single greatest financial investment for most businesses and the single greatest financial opportunity.

With escalating workers' compensation and group health costs, prevention and treatment of work site injuries are a major expense for employers. Traditional workers' compensation programs emphasize adapting the work site to handle employee limitations. This can be a costly and often unrealistic approach that is not usually very effective.

New Life Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine takes a different approach by applying the concepts of BioErgonomics to your work force. BioErgonomics focuses on expanding the physical capability of workers by strengthening and conditioning the employee in order to meet the physical demands of the job. Just as a coach trains an athlete in preparation for the physical demands of the game, the New Life team prepares the employee for each specific work task to be performed. The focus is on increasing the functional envelope of the worker by reducing the strain to the body associated with force, motion, and repetition. If the employee is stronger, more flexible, and better balanced, work will be easier, better tolerated, and result in fewer injuries.

• Decreased workplace injuries
• Reduced workers' compensation expense
• Increased productivity
• Enhanced employee morale and involvement
• Healthier employees
