When your patient’s job requires more than a resistance band...
For this patient, getting back to work means getting back to being a firefighter, and that comes with some pretty specific physical demands.
As they prepared for a return-to-work fitness test, we wanted to give them the opportunity to do a dry run before test day. The problem? Most PT clinics don’t exactly have firefighter-specific equipment lying around.
Luckily, being inside be FITNESS gives us access to a lot more equipment than you’d find in a traditional clinic. So, we got creative.
We used what we had, including the tire, to recreate the test as closely as possible and give them the chance to practice the movements, build confidence, and see how their body responded before doing the real thing.
Because the goal of PT isn’t just to get you through a few exercises in the clinic. It’s to prepare you for whatever you need to get back to outside of it.
