About Work Hardening

Each year work-related injuries are responsible for significant economic and human costs to both employees and employers including wage losses, productivity decline, depression, stress, and anxiety. In an effort to help minimize these damages from injury, work hardening programs were created to help rehabilitate patients both physically and psychologically so that they may resume their full workplace duties as soon as possible.
