Understanding Virginia Workman’s Compensation

What is Workers Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is an insurance that provides financial and/or medical care benefits for when an individual is injured on the job (at no fault of their own). An approved workers comp claim covers lost wages, medical costs, rehabilitation, and more.

Types of Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries can happen at any time; these are often no fault of the individual.

Examples of physical workplace injuries include:

• Slip and falls
• Auto accidents
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Overexertion
• Broken bones and fractures

Those who experience an injury may require medical assistance and rehabilitation before returning to normal. Physical therapy provides an avenue for those young and old to recover from work-related injuries. Our physical therapists are here to help with your specific needs.

Physical Therapy and Workers’ Compensation

Don’t let financial fears keep you from recovery. If you’ve been injured on the job in Virginia, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, including physical therapy. Under Virginia law, your employer will cover all the costs of physical rehabilitation to get you back to work.

When you opt for physical therapy to treat a work-related injury, you’re setting yourself up to enjoy benefits now and into the future. The benefits of workers’ comp physical therapy result in lower workers’ compensation claim costs. You’ll recover faster, experience less pain, reduce the need for invasive treatments, and improve your overall functioning to help you perform your job.

At Total Motion, we do everything we can to promote your healing. We even manage all the billing and administration that comes along with workers comp physical therapy so you can focus on recovery.

Workers Compensation Rehabilitation Prevents Further Injury

Total Motion Physical Therapy has helped hundreds of workers in the New River Valley heal and stay healthy. We go the extra mile by teaching you how to prevent injury from happening again. Using your customized treatment plan, your physical therapist will address your injury and evaluate the activities and movements you are expected to perform every day.

We’ll recommend better ways to move so you can return to work with less pain and less risk of re-injury.

Here’s what you can expect from your worker’s compensation rehabilitation treatment plan:

• Strength-building exercises are designed to build up your core muscles to prevent back injuries
• Therapeutic treatments with massage and manual therapy are designed to speed up healing and increase flexibility
• At-home exercises to help you gradually regain strength and increase your range of motion
• Range of motion tests that evaluate your readiness to return to work and perform daily tasks
