Physical Therapy for Injured Federal Employees: Your Path to Recovery
If you are a federal employee suffering from a workplace injury, physical recovery is only half the battle. Navigating OWCP (Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs) and FECA claims can be overwhelming. At FedMH, we bridge the gap between mental health support and physical rehabilitation.
We partner with a nationwide network of OWCP-authorized physical therapy clinics to ensure you receive the specialized care you deserve while we manage the complexities of your mental wellbeing and claim support.
Specialized Care for Federal Workplace Injuries
Federal jobs often come with unique physical demands. Whether you work for the USPS, TSA, VA, or DoD, our partner clinics specialize in treating common federal work injuries, including:
- Back and Spinal Injuries: Chronic pain from lifting or repetitive motion.
- Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Tears: Common in postal and manual labor roles.
- Knee and Joint Injuries: From slips, falls, or prolonged standing.
- Repetitive Stress Injuries: Such as Carpal Tunnel syndrome.
Why Choose a FedMH Partner Clinic for PT?
Not all physical therapists understand the specific requirements of the Department of Labor (DOL).
Our partners are experts in:
1. OWCP Compliance: Ensuring all documentation meets DOL standards to prevent claim denials.
2. Integrated Care: We coordinate your physical therapy with your mental health care to treat the “whole person.”
3. Direct Communication: We work directly with your claims examiner and nurse case manager.
4. Nationwide Network: Clinics in every state, experienced with federal workers’ comp claims.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does OWCP pay for physical therapy?
Yes, under FECA, federal employees are entitled to all medical services “likely to cure, give relief, or reduce the degree or period of disability.” This includes authorized physical therapy.
Do I need a referral for a FedMH partner clinic?
We can assist you in obtaining the necessary medical narratives and referrals required to ensure your PT sessions are fully covered by your workers’ comp claim.
How soon should I start therapy after injury or surgery?
Early intervention improves recovery, reduces complications, and strengthens your OWCP claim.
Can physical therapy prevent surgery or long-term disability?
In many cases, yes. Therapy restores strength, mobility, and function, sometimes avoiding surgical intervention.
What types of injuries do you treat?
We treat a full range of federal work injuries, including back, shoulder, knee, ankle, wrist, hip, neck, repetitive stress injuries, post-surgical rehab, fractures, muscle and ligament strains, herniated discs, and balance/mobility issues.
