GOVERNMENT CODE 484308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION From May 2022 to April 2025, excluding COVID-19, Santa Ana Police Department employees filed a total of 167 workers' compensation claims for hypertension, elevated heart rate, strains, and sprains. These claims amounted to approximately $6,338,285 in related costs (medical, disability, rehab, etc.). Many of the above -referenced claimants were prescribed physical therapy instead of surgery or as a part of their post -surgery rehab programs. Before receiving any physical therapy, claimants often waited several days and/or weeks for their initial medical evaluations and/or diagnoses. Claimants received therapy off -site while working light -duty assignments or on total disability leave. Physical therapy sessions are typically scheduled once or twice a week, depending on the provider's availability. This process can be burdensome and lengthy. Besides the physical challenges, a slow recovery can impact an employee's mental well-being as they work to return to full -duty status. O2X Human Performance, LLC specializes in providing full-time, in-house athletic and/or strength and conditioning trainers who help employees prevent and recover from injury.
