Work hardening addresses the physical and functional requirements for a patient’s successful return to work through flexibility, strength, endurance, and coordination training.

What is work hardening (Work S.T.A.R.T.)?

Work S.T.A.R.T. (Strength Training and Rehabilitation Therapy) is designed to get you back to work without pain or functional limitation. Traditional work conditioning and work hardening programs focus on subjective pain levels and isokinetic testing. Work S.T.A.R.T. combines physical therapy and rehabilitation principles with sports performance and strength training to achieve positive outcomes in workers’ compensation cases.
