In the context of physical therapy (PT), Worker’s Compensation plays a vital role in the rehabilitation process for injured employees. After a work-related injury, employees can access physical therapy services as part of their treatment plan, which is typically covered under their Worker’s Compensation benefits. This coverage can include various PT interventions, such as therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, pain management techniques, and education on injury prevention and ergonomics.

The Worker’s Compensation system also supports employees in their recovery journey by facilitating communication between healthcare providers, employers, and insurance carriers. This collaborative approach helps ensure that injured workers receive timely care, allowing them to return to work safely and efficiently. Additionally, PT professionals often play a critical role in assessing the employee's readiness to return to work and developing tailored rehabilitation plans to address specific job-related demands and prevent future injuries.
