What Is Work-Related Injury Physiotherapy?
Work-related injuries vary widely, from repetitive strain conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome to acute injuries from a fall or lifting incident. Treatment starts with an assessment of your specific injury and how it affects your work and daily activities, and your physiotherapist builds a plan around that — adjusting it as you progress toward returning to your usual tasks.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Repetitive hand and wrist movement can compress the median nerve in the wrist, leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. See our Elbow, Wrist & Hand Pain page for more detail.
Tendonitis
Overuse and repetitive movement of a specific body part — commonly the shoulder, elbow, wrist, or knee — can cause tendon inflammation, pain, and limited mobility.
Workplace Vehicle Accidents
Injuries from an accident involving a company vehicle can range from minor to severe, including fractures, whiplash, and head injuries. See our Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries page for more detail.
Sprains and Strains
Falls, repeated movements, or other workplace trauma can affect ligaments and tendons, causing pain, swelling, bruising, and reduced mobility in the affected area.
Back Pain
Prolonged sitting, poor posture, or improper lifting are common workplace contributors to back pain, which can range from muscle strain to a herniated disc or nerve compression. See our Back Pain and Sciatica page for more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions About Work-Related Injury Treatment
Navigating physical recovery and claim processes after a workplace injury can raise many questions regarding care and return-to-work timelines. Below are answers to common questions about physiotherapy options at Millwoods Physical Therapy Centre.
Is physiotherapy for a work-related injury covered through WCB in Alberta?
The Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) of Alberta may cover physiotherapy for approved workplace injury claims, though coverage depends on your specific claim. We recommend checking directly with WCB or your employer for details specific to your situation. (Millwoods does not provide legal or claims advice — for questions about your WCB claim or compensation, please contact WCB Alberta or a qualified professional directly.)
Do I need a doctor’s referral for a work-related injury assessment in Edmonton?
In most cases, a referral isn’t required to book a physiotherapy assessment in Alberta. If your WCB claim or insurance requires one, check with your employer or claims provider before your appointment.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need for a work-related injury?
This depends on the type and severity of the injury and how you respond to treatment. Your physiotherapist will outline an initial plan after your assessment and adjust it as your recovery progresses.
Can physiotherapy help me return to work sooner?
Physiotherapy can support recovery and function, which may help with a safe return to work — but timing depends on your specific injury, job demands, and recovery progress. Your physiotherapist can help track your progress against your work duties.
