- Fast Response to All Concerns
- Onsite Visit to Significantly Reduce Lost Work Time
- Complete Health History Leading to Screening of Incident

- Web Based Follow-up Monitoring System
- All Forms Necessary for Implementation
What Are The Typical Steps In The Process?
- We are onsite to assist you within the first 24-48 hours of contact.
- We take a complete health history and participant completes a symptom questionnaire.
- Our therapists are biomechanical engineers of the human machine, and are able to accurately assess cause and effect related to the complaint.
- We provide instant feedback (Job Coaching) regarding risk factors and related work method and activity of daily living changes for the improved health of the employee.
- We provide a written/pictorial representation of the health treatment program.
- We provide a written and electronic report of the visit to the company representative.
- Follow up is scheduled right then, as needed.
After The First Session
The employee will:
- Know what the screening revealed as the problem.
- Know the proposed plan of action.
- Know what self treatment activities to perform and at what frequency and duration.
- Be trained in understanding the risk factors involved in their situation.
- Know how to avoid or reduce the risk factors both at work and at home.
- Be provided with contact information for the KGI representative.
- Be provided with a personalized login number to complete a follow up survey.
- We will also help you with that hard to return to work employee, constructing a program that transitions that person back to work smoothly and with less cost to you the employer. The employee is able to realize their fullest potential while overcoming that “outsider” feeling, by being transitioned to a productive part of the team.
Transitional Programs
At some point most employers have had an employee that lingers out on medical leave for an extended period. The longer the employee is out of work, the more time that is required for return and the chances of return diminish significantly. Establishing an injury management program with an operating procedure that facilitates transitional duty has been shown to reduce the direct and indirect costs associated with the recovery process.
The focus is to progressively increase work specific activity levels in a supervised setting. The employee regains strength and endurance and improves positional and activity tolerances. This also allows us to address pain limitations and pain behaviors, which many times hinder a complete return to work.
Each employer, employee and injury are different and may require a different approach but the method by which an employer applies the program should remain the same. This process is an integral component of our Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention and Management Process. Onsite visits are a must to ensure and document the progress of the transition. During these visits we monitor progress, adjust the care plan and look for potential ergonomic risk factors. Many times we use job coaching techniques to reinforce proper positioning and correction of repetitive motions that can also be applied to others in the work area in order to create a more safe work environment for all. We will work closely with your health care provider to ensure the employee is progressed to full work duty.
We partner with a large variety of local rehabilitation providers to assure continuity with your employees care.
Can I Tailor The Program To Fit My Needs?
Our Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention and Management Process is a new concept in creating a workforce that takes control of their health and work/home habits. This comprehensive process puts the power in your hands to improve your bottom line by empowering your employees through onsite, personal evaluation, treatment, training and follow-up.
It has been estimated that the "people portion" of the burden rate at most companies represents over 75% of their expenses. Doesn't it make sense to assure these costs are minimized?
Our comprehensive, hands-on injury prevention programs improve employee health, boost the quality of work and improve the bottom line. We encourage and enable employees to report aches and pains early so they remain easily treatable and so they don't progress to a full blown injury, thus saving money.
Below are a few of the items you may choose with this program:
- Brief to Advanced Level Overview and Analysis of the Job Being Performed
- Medical History and Current Symptoms History
- Objective Evaluation Information to Support the Treatment Program
- HIPAA Compliance
- Self Treatment Activities
- Validity and Special Testing
- Scheduled Follow-up and Resolution
- Written and Electronic Report of Each Visit
- Work Instructions as Needed
- Pictorial and or Video Reporting
- Follow the Employer Return to Work Policies with Recommendations
- Web Based Follow Up
