Independent medical examinations

Independent Medical Evaluations (or IMEs) are conducted to determine the cause and extent of an individual’s injury when liability is an issue. They do so by providing an objective assessment of the examinee’s medical status. The evaluation will consist of a physical exam by an unbiased, certified health care professional. Depending on the claimant’s case and condition, multi-specialty physicians may be required. For more information, please contact us.

Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)

Massage therapy is an art form that uses various manual techniques by massage therapists to manipulate the soft tissue and joints of the body. Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is useful in a clinical rehabilitation setting to relieve pain, tension, and swelling that might be the result of a specific physical health condition. Massage therapy also promotes form and function in the body through the manipulation of dysfunctional soft tissues and joints in order to improve limited movements and postural deformities.
