Recover Stronger and Get Back to Work with Workers’ Compensation Rehabilitation in Erie
A workplace injury can throw your life off balance—pain, uncertainty about your job, and the frustration of dealing with insurance can make recovery feel overwhelming. At Activecare Physical Therapy in Erie, we specialize in workers’ compensation rehabilitation, providing expert care that ensures you heal fully, regain mobility, and return to work safely—without unnecessary delays or complications.
Expert Rehabilitation for Injured Workers
Workers’ compensation covers medical care and lost wages, but standard rehab programs don’t always prioritize your long-term recovery. Many follow a one-size-fits-all approach that may overlook your specific job duties, pain levels, and mobility needs.
At Activecare Physical Therapy in Erie, we take a patient-first approach, designing customized rehabilitation plans based on:
- Comprehensive Injury Assessments – Addressing your pain, mobility, and functional limitations.
- Clear Communication with Your Case Manager – Working with doctors, insurers, and employers to streamline approvals and prevent delays.
- Job-Specific Functional Rehabilitation – Helping you regain the strength and mobility needed to perform your work safely and effectively.
Your recovery is our priority—we help you get back to work without setbacks or reinjury.

Ehren and the ActiveCare Team have always been welcoming, pleasant, thorough and considerate of my needs working with me step-by-step through my process (x2), identifying issues and quickly tailoring treatment to how my body reacts to a plan. They explain things easily for me to understand and are comfortable to engage in conversation with as well.
All-in-all, I highly recommend Ehren and the ActiveCare team to everyone. Thank you so much for getting me on the right track!

Activecare Physical Therapy’s entire staff is pleasant and attentive. Micki was especially helpful to me as I was dealing with a chronic issue. She was able to get to the root of my problem and solve it. As a small business owner myself, it is obvious to me that there are some very caring and very professional people at Activecare
Comprehensive Rehabilitation for Work Injuries in Erie
1. Physical Therapy for Full Recovery
Our therapy programs are designed to restore movement, reduce pain, and rebuild strength. We use manual therapy to relieve stiffness and improve mobility, targeted exercises to enhance strength, endurance, and flexibility, work-specific training to safely restore job function, and pain relief techniques such as heat, ice, and electrical stimulation.
2. Ergonomic Workplace Assessments
To prevent reinjury, we assess and modify your work environment to promote safe movement. This includes adjusting workstations, tools, and equipment for better ergonomics, teaching proper lifting techniques and movement mechanics, and recommending adaptive equipment to minimize strain.
3. Transitional Work Programs
A rushed return to work increases the risk of reinjury. Our work conditioning programs provide a safe and gradual transition by implementing modified duty assignments tailored to your abilities, job simulation exercises to rebuild strength for real work tasks, and close collaboration with employers to determine necessary accommodations.
4. Workers’ Compensation Assistance
The workers’ compensation process can be complex, but we manage the paperwork so you can focus on healing. We coordinate medical approvals for therapy and treatment, submit progress reports to case managers and employers, ensure compliance with workers’ comp requirements, and assist with workplace modifications for a safe return. By handling the logistics, we allow you to concentrate fully on your recovery.
