Industrial Athletics
On-site training, early support, and job-specific conditioning for healthier industrial crews.
Overview
How Industrial Athletics can help.
For 22 years, ADAPT has supported people in physically demanding jobs. We bring assessment, movement training, and recovery routines to waste management, manufacturing, construction, and energy workplaces. Our work with a waste-management partner delivered a 37.6% reduction in recordable injury and DART frequency, helping more employees stay healthy and on the job.
Call (503) 755-8558 to discuss your workplace, crew needs, and program options. We can explain on-site delivery, assessments, and pricing.
Programs and care options.
01 / 04
Prevention: Durability Program
Practical movement routines built into the working day.
Three short routines fit into the shift: Shift Preparation (3–5 min before work), Reset (1–2 min, 1–3× per day), and Post-Shift recovery. Each routine is designed around the movements and physical demands of the job.
02 / 04
Intervention: Early Systems Intervention (ESI)
Support employees when discomfort first appears.
When a worker reports discomfort, our ESI process follows five steps: Evaluate, Assign, Instruct, Assess Results, and Progress. We assess the concern, teach an appropriate routine, and follow up on how the employee responds.
03 / 04
Performance: Job Hardening + Return-to-Work
Build the capacity to return to full duty.
Job-specific conditioning prepares workers for the lifting, carrying, and repeated tasks their role requires. We increase demands gradually and coordinate with the treating medical team and case managers.
04 / 04
On-Site Workshops & Education
Train your worker-athletes in their own environment.
On-site or in-clinic workshops cover body mechanics, lifting, hydration, and recovery. Employees learn practical skills they can use during and after each shift.
Common reasons people come in.
A
Soft-tissue injury reduction
Programs to reduce sprains, strains, and overuse injuries, with progress measured through workplace injury data.
B
Lower-back & shoulder load
Targeted movement training and recovery routines for the lower back and shoulders, two common areas of concern in physical work.
C
Return-to-work conditioning
Build strength and work capacity for a return to full duty, with training based on the actual demands of the job.
D
Pre-employment functional capacity screens
Assess lifting, carrying, and endurance against the documented demands of the role.
E
Workers' comp & case management coordination
We coordinate with the insurer, case manager, and treating physician to support a planned return to work.
F
Crew durability culture
Workshops and daily routines give crews practical ways to prepare for work, manage physical demands, and recover between shifts.
