On-Site Early Intervention
Soft-tissue injuries can go days or even weeks without being reported to a supervisor. Our early interventions help employees alleviate pain, tightness, tingling, or numbness without requiring time off work. We also prevent the problem from escalating to a soft tissue, recordable claim.
All early interventions are done on site. Typically, each intervention starts with an initial appointment where we investigate the problem and get the employee started on some stretches. There is a follow-up appointment one week later to make corrections and adjustments and a final appointment two weeks after that. Each session emphasizes stretching, self-care skills, appropriate use of ice/heat, and proper body mechanics, as well as analyzing any workstation ergonomic issues as-needed.
“ErgoFLEX is a key component of our injury prevention program. Their early intervention approach allows us to capture and respond to early reporting of pain or other symptoms. The cost savings from the reduced number of recordable claims has been significant.”

We have used ErgoFLEX for Early Intervention at our operations throughout western Oregon and have seen a significant reduction in the number of recordable injuries over that time.

ErgoFlex has been directly instrumental in lowering our recordable claims and therefore reducing workers compensation premium costs to recent record lows.

We’ve been very happy with the ergoFLEX on-site early interventions, ergonomic workstation evaluations, and stretching trainings. More importantly, our employees have been happy too.
