Functional Restoration Program

Function specific program designed to improve overall function. The goal of this program is to return to independent participation of daily activities and/or transition into the Work Hardening Program to return to full duty work tasks. This program starts as a few hours each day for the first week and is ramped up to several hours over the next few weeks. A Functional Restoration Program includes cardiovascular exercise, therapeutic exercise and activities, education, counseling, and home/work specific tasks. A typical Functional Restoration Program is 3-4 weeks in duration, but can be up to 8 weeks if necessary and progress is being made. A Functional Capacity Evaluation will conclude the program to outline the individual’s final abilities and tolerances.
