Occupational Injuries

At Sport & Spine Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating occupational injuries, understanding that your ability to work is crucial for your financial well-being and overall quality of life. Whether you’re dealing with an injury from repetitive movements, heavy lifting, or prolonged sitting, our experienced therapists are dedicated to helping you recover as quickly and safely as possible. We accept all workers’ compensation cases and tailor our treatments to meet the specific demands of your occupation, ensuring that you can return to work feeling strong, pain-free, and confident.

Every occupation places unique demands on the body. Whether your job involves sitting at a desk for long hours, driving long distances, standing for extended periods, lifting heavy materials, or moving into awkward positions, these activities can lead to occupational injuries that affect your ability to work. At Sport & Spine Physical Therapy, we take a comprehensive approach to healing, starting with a detailed evaluation of your injury and work requirements. From there, we develop a personalized treatment plan that focuses on reducing pain, restoring function, and preventing future injuries.

If you’re searching for physical therapy near me or sports therapy near me to help with a work-related injury, our clinic offers expert care in sports physical therapy and spine and sport physical therapy. Our skilled therapists use a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and work-specific training to ensure that your body heals properly and is fully prepared to meet the physical demands of your job. In addition to treating the immediate injury, we focus on teaching you how to move safely and efficiently to prevent re-injury.

For those in physically demanding jobs, such as construction, warehouse work, or healthcare, we understand the challenges you face. Lifting, bending, carrying, and other strenuous movements can place stress on your muscles, joints, and spine, increasing the risk of injury. Our specialized treatment programs address these concerns by focusing on improving your strength, flexibility, and endurance, so you’re prepared for the physical requirements of your job. We also offer return-to-work conditioning, ensuring that you can perform work tasks safely and effectively.

For individuals in more sedentary roles, such as office workers, drivers, or anyone required to sit for long periods, occupational injuries such as lower back pain, neck pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome are common. Our therapists provide ergonomic education and postural training to help you maintain proper alignment and reduce strain on your body during the workday. By addressing the root causes of your discomfort, we help you work more comfortably and prevent future injuries.

At Sport & Spine Physical Therapy, we are committed to supporting your recovery from occupational injuries and getting you back to work in top form. We understand the importance of being at your best for both yourself and your family, which is why we provide comprehensive care that not only heals your injury but also prepares you for the future. Through education, targeted rehabilitation, and preventive strategies, we help ensure that you can return to work safely and confidently.

“I was referred to Sport & Spine for post-operative rehab from shoulder surgery. The care and treatment I received was highly effective. Thanks to Sport & Spine I am back to being fully functional in life’s general activities, and I am now rowing for competitions.”

- PETE CATHEY, Head Coach UNH Men’s Crew, Master Rower; Assistant Coach of Charles River Rowing Camp

“I have always engaged in intense levels of activity in both work and play. So when I had a menisectomy and ACL replacement after an accident, I was completely immobilized. I came to Sport & Spine because they were highly recommended by my surgeon. I truly had my doubts about physical therapy, but as soon as I arrived I knew this was the right choice. They use diverse and innovative ways to get you on your feet again by setting challenging yet attainable goals. And when I was done with my therapy, they were just as proud of me as I was of myself.”

- ALEXENDRA CHAN, Archaelogist

“I have been to numerous chiropractors, physical therapists, myotherapists and neurologists for the past 12 years for back, neck and shoulder pain to no avail. But after just 12 visits, I am out in my garden again! Chris and his staff really went the extra mile to see me reach and attain my goals. Thank you so much... I am forever grateful.”

- LIZ RIORDAN

“Suffering from a bad shoulder was something that I was living with for months. But working with the heroes over at Sport & Spine helped me progress at a level that was comfortable yet pushed me to a point that minimized the pain. Sport & Spine is the perfect physical therapy environment with a highly trained and cordial staff that really, really cares.”

- JAMES SWISHER

"Two months of using stretches I found on YouTube and got from my doctor’s office did nothing for my herniated disc. Just one month after going to see Dr. Ben McGinnis, my pain was almost entirely gone. We’re now working on strengthening to ensure I don’t re-injure myself. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Sport & Spine."

- PATRICK

"Although I worked primarily with Dan, the entire staff is professional, friendly, and above all they really know how to treat your conditions. I have been to Sport and Spine for 2 periods over the past couple of years, once for post shoulder surgery and once for treating a knee problem. I highly recommend Dan and Sport and Spine in general for physical therapy."

- JOHN B

"Was under Sport & Spine Physical Therapy's care for a 3 month period due to rotator cuff surgery. My rehab included three sessions weekly. The facility was always very neat and clean. The Corvid prevention program was quite thorough and very reassuring to me as a patient. Their entire staff was very courteous and professional. My primary therapist was Ben McGinnis. His care, preparation, and concern were exemplary. He always listened to my concerns and customized my exercise regimen to my particular case and needs. With the support and assistance of Karen Goldberg on Ben's days off, we were able to exceed my surgeon's expectations and overall goals. For the spectacular results of your detailed care and compassion, my hats off to you both! Heartfelt Thanks!!"
