Injured on the job? OWCP Wellness helps federal employees recover strength, balance and confidence, one session and one step at a time.
Every plan is built from what your job asks of your body, so the exercises in our clinic look like the tasks you'll go back to.
Uneven sidewalks, stairs and loading docks are hard on joints. We restore motion, then build the strength that protects them.
Lifting, twisting and long hours seated. Hands-on treatment eases pain while you relearn safe movement patterns.
Sorting, scanning, carrying satchels and overhead reaching. We treat overuse injuries and rebuild endurance.
Federal work injuries are covered under FECA, run by the Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs.
Tell your supervisor and file Form CA-1 for a traumatic injury or CA-2 for an occupational disease in ECOMP.
Ask your agency for Form CA-16 and get a physical therapy referral from your treating physician.
Contact us. We verify your claim, evaluate your injury and send progress notes as your claim requires.
Target time for an agency to complete a CA-16 after you ask.
After this, a CA-16 generally isn't issued. Ask right away.
Typical initial physical therapy authorization from injury date.
