Early Intervention (EI) is an <\/span>onsite service<\/b> for employees who are experiencing muscular symptoms of discomfort, soreness, stiffness, numbness, tingling or pain. Assessing and treating these symptoms at the point of <\/span>discomfort<\/i><\/b> is a key focus of the program.\u00a0 EI keeps employees healthy and safe at work, which allows them to enjoy their lives when they go home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our EI program promotes early reporting of symptoms (i.e., pain, cramping, spasms, muscle or joint stiffness, muscle fatigue, and minor sprains and strains) to allow for immediate and effective OSHA-approved first aid intervention strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Symptoms are evaluated by our EI specialist, who is a licensed healthcare professional (physical therapist or athletic trainer). The EI specialist will listen and work with the employee to address the reported symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our EI Specialists create employee engagement through observing and coaching employees at their work site to correct the potential root causes of the discomfort.\u00a0 One-on-one job coaching reinforces the intervention strategies.\u00a0 Awareness training is provided for use of safe body mechanics, post<\/span>ure, and work technique.\u00a0 Use of soft tissue massage and preventative exercises may be utilized to assist in resolution of the reported symptoms.<\/p>\n

The process may also include a job as<\/span>sessment to review tasks for job demands and proper ergonomics. Recommendations regarding work technique modification (job coaching), OSHA-approved first-aid treatment, ergonomic interventions or education are determined. Follow-up occurs on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to assess improvement.\u00a0 Be proactive and keep an \u201cache\u201d from becoming a \u201cpain\u201d!<\/b><\/p>\n

Examples of EI Interventions include:\u00a0 <\/b>Ortho<\/span>pedic Assessment, Ice or Heat, Over the counter medicines, Education, Stretching and Strengthening, Soft Tissue Massage, Job Assessment, Ergonomics, and Job Coaching.<\/p>\n
