Expert Care in Queens, NY

Specialized treatment, personalized to you

Workplace injuries can arise from a single traumatic event — a fall, a sudden lift — or build gradually through repetitive motion, sustained postures, and daily physical strain. Falls, lower back pain, and spine conditions are among the most common work-related injuries we see at our Ridgewood and Forest Hills clinics.

Our industrial rehabilitation program addresses the full spectrum of occupational injuries with individualized, hands-on care. We relieve pain, restore functional strength, and help you return to the work you need to do — or, where appropriate, provide objective documentation to support a disability determination.

Our Approach

How we get you better

Functional Work Capacity Assessment

We evaluate your current strength, mobility, and capacity relative to the specific demands of your job — establishing a clear baseline.

Pain Relief and Tissue Recovery

Manual therapy and targeted exercise address injured tissue directly, reducing pain and restoring safe range of motion.

Job-Specific Conditioning

We rebuild the strength, endurance, and movement patterns your specific work requires — from lifting mechanics to prolonged posture tolerance.

Return-to-Work Planning

We collaborate with you, your employer, and your physician to create a safe, structured return plan — whether full duty, modified duty, or phased return.
