Industrial Medicine Program -

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.
