In many cases, the problem is not just the injury itself, but also long-term strain, repetitive movements, and the way the body functions during work-related tasks.<\/p>\n<p>At PD Rehab, we take a broader approach. We assess not only your symptoms, but also movement patterns, tissue tension, and how your daily work activities affect your body. Treatment includes advanced hands-on techniques such as Fascial Counterstrain, joint mobilization, and soft tissue work to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support healing.<\/p>\n<p>We also incorporate individualized exercise programs and modern therapeutic modalities such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and cold laser therapy. In selected cases, we use hyperbaric oxygen therapy to enhance tissue oxygenation and accelerate recovery \u2014 especially important for patients treated under workers\u2019 comp, where a safe and timely return to work is essential.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/pdrehab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/25.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;25&#8243; align=&#8221;right&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; max_height=&#8221;1000px&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;section-image-left&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#16161c&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0|0px|0px|0px&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; module_class=&#8221; et_pb_row_fullwidth&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f8f8f8&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0|0px|0px|0px&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/pdrehab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/26.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;26&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; max_height=&#8221;1000px&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;padding: 50px;&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text ul_type=&#8221;square&#8221; ul_item_indent=&#8221;20px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; ul_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; ul_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; ul_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;50px&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|13%||3%|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|0%||0%|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|0%||0%|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;35px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Rehabilitation tailored to your job<\/h2>\n<p>Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan based not only on their injury, but also on the specific physical demands of their job.
