All of our EPA sites, Guelph, Acton, Hespeler, Georgetown, and Orangeville, offer industrial physiotherapy. This program
begins with an expedient referral within 48 hours of the employees
injury.
As part of our mission statement, all EPA clinics will go out
of their way to ensure all necessary communication with the family
doctor, employer contact and most importantly the injured worker.
Our exercise and manual therapy excellence extends to all injured
workers. In addition, we will attempt to identify modified duties
to encourage the worker to return to their previous level of
function. This may include integrating a simulated work environment
in the clinic. As with all our programs, our aim is to supply
evidence based excellence in orthopaedic physiotherapy.
