In this episode, Melanie Hamilton-Basich of Rehab Management and Physical Therapy Products discusses the benefits of providing industrial therapy services with Virginia “Ginnie” Marshall (Halling), PT, CEO of DSI Work Solutions and Glenda Key, founder and CEO of KEY Functional Assessments Network.
They cover why PTs, OTs, and rehab professionals might want to expand their services to include this type of therapy by partnering with employers, how it helps employers do more than just get injured employees back to work, as well as tips for how to get started.
