Return-to-work training after clearance

Once you’re cleared, the goal is simple: rebuild work tolerance safely. This page explains what RTW training is, how it differs from therapy, and how progress is measured.

RTW training vs therapy

Therapy manages assessment and clinical recovery. RTW training rebuilds capacity: strength, stamina, posture, and repeatable job demands.

What we measure

  • Work-similar movement patterns (push/pull/carry/hinge)
  • Volume tolerance (how much you can do repeatedly)
  • Technique consistency under fatigue

How we keep it safe

We work inside clearance and use load management to avoid spikes. Progress is built, not guessed.

Quick answers

  • Can RTW training start while I still have symptoms?
    Often yes if symptoms are stable and you’re cleared. We keep the plan conservative and repeatable.
  • Do you report to an employer/insurer?
    We can provide clear progress summaries (within privacy limits) focused on capacity and consistency.
  • Is RTW training just ‘fitness’?
    No. It targets work demands and long-term resilience.

What happens next

  1. Clarify your goal + constraints (time, equipment, pain history, schedule).
  2. Baseline: posture + movement screen, and a plan you can actually follow.
  3. Progress: weekly check-ins, technique coaching, and load management.
