# wereset > On-site physiotherapy, objective strength testing and capacity programs > for Canadian employers. Every worker is measured on VALD force-measurement > hardware before a program is written, and retested after it, so the > employer sees a change in a number rather than a change in a claim. Operating in Canada, English and French. Individual capacity results belong to the worker and stay in their clinical record; employers receive aggregate reporting only, above a minimum group size, and never for employment decisions. Every statistic published on this site carries a deep link to the Canadian publisher it came from - see /evidence. ## Core - [/](https://wereset.ca/): What wereset does, the capacity thesis, and the headline national numbers. - [/why-wereset](https://wereset.ca/why-wereset): The whole business case in one place: cost exposure, the 3 options compared, and a prevention calculator that runs on published benefit-cost ratios. - [/measurement](https://wereset.ca/measurement): The VALD measurement stack, what each device measures, and what happens on a site visit. - [/evidence](https://wereset.ca/evidence): All 69 published figures used across the site, each with publisher, year and page-level source link. - [/about](https://wereset.ca/about): Who wereset is, how the practice is structured, and its clinical position. ## Services - [/services](https://wereset.ca/services): The 6 services delivered at the employer's own site, and the standing terms that apply to all of them. - [/services/on-site-physiotherapy](https://wereset.ca/services/on-site-physiotherapy): On-site physiotherapy - A licensed physiotherapist works a scheduled shift at your site, treating the people who would otherwise wait weeks for an appointment they have to drive to. - [/services/massage-therapy](https://wereset.ca/services/massage-therapy): Massage therapy - A Registered Massage Therapist on site on a fixed cadence, issuing the same insurance receipt they would from a clinic - so the benefit plan you already pay for gets used by the people who need it most. - [/services/ergonomic-assessments](https://wereset.ca/services/ergonomic-assessments): Ergonomic assessments - Desk and industrial assessments that end in a dated remediation list with an owner against every line, and a follow-up visit that checks whether the change was actually made. - [/services/injury-prevention](https://wereset.ca/services/injury-prevention): Injury prevention - The closed loop this practice is built on: find who is carrying a deficit before it becomes a claim, write a program against the deficit, and retest to prove the program worked. - [/services/return-to-work](https://wereset.ca/services/return-to-work): Return to work - Accommodation planning built on measured capacity rather than a guess, so the supervisor knows on day one what the returning worker can actually do - and the plan holds up with the insurer. - [/services/wellness-workshops](https://wereset.ca/services/wellness-workshops): Wellness workshops - A catalogue of lunch-and-learns and toolbox talks delivered by a clinician, built for the crews who never get sent on a course. ## Programs - [/programs](https://wereset.ca/programs): The 3 capacity programs and how a measured deficit maps to one. - [/programs/bulletproof-back](https://wereset.ca/programs/bulletproof-back): Bulletproof Back - Lumbar spine and trunk. Build the lumbar load tolerance the job actually demands, then prove it with a repeat test. - [/programs/shoulder-boulders](https://wereset.ca/programs/shoulder-boulders): Shoulder Boulders - Shoulder, scapula and overhead work. Overhead reach, push and pull capacity, built to the demand of the task and retested against it. - [/programs/posturestrong](https://wereset.ca/programs/posturestrong): PostureStrong - Sustained posture and static load. Endurance for the postures a shift actually holds: seated, standing, static, repetitive. ## Case studies - [/case-studies](https://wereset.ca/case-studies): 5 published Canadian outcomes, none of them attributed to wereset. - [/case-studies/niagara-health-rtw](https://wereset.ca/case-studies/niagara-health-rtw): Niagara Health, Ontario (2012 to 2015) - A written return to work policy halved time off. - [/case-studies/kitchener-wilmot-hydro](https://wereset.ca/case-studies/kitchener-wilmot-hydro): Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc., Ontario (2016) - Changing the task beat treating the injury. - [/case-studies/toronto-east-general](https://wereset.ca/case-studies/toronto-east-general): Toronto East General Hospital, Ontario (2008 to 2015) - Psychological health and safety showed up in the absence numbers. - [/case-studies/alberta-shoulder-pathway](https://wereset.ca/case-studies/alberta-shoulder-pathway): 2,482 Alberta workers, Alberta (2004 to 2018) - A defined care pathway cut shoulder claim duration by 2 months. - [/case-studies/ontario-isaec-low-back](https://wereset.ca/case-studies/ontario-isaec-low-back): 422 Ontario patients, Thunder Bay, Hamilton and Toronto (2017 publication) - Conservative care first cut imaging and the surgical queue at once. ## Resources - [/resources](https://wereset.ca/resources): Articles on injury prevention, ergonomics, return to work and the underlying Canadian research, filterable by category. - [/resources/what-your-employer-can-and-cannot-see](https://wereset.ca/resources/what-your-employer-can-and-cannot-see): What your employer can and cannot see (2026-04-15, 6 min). Written for the worker being asked to take part. Where a capacity result goes, who reads it, and the line between a health record and a performance record. - [/resources/the-back-is-not-fragile](https://wereset.ca/resources/the-back-is-not-fragile): The back is not fragile. It is undertrained. (2026-04-01, 7 min). The most claimed body part in Canada is also the one employers are most afraid to load. That fear is expensive, and the evidence does not support it. - [/resources/reading-a-benefit-cost-ratio](https://wereset.ca/resources/reading-a-benefit-cost-ratio): How to read a benefit-cost ratio without fooling yourself (2026-03-18, 9 min). Prevention returns are quoted constantly and understood rarely. What the published Canadian ratios include, what they leave out, and how to use one in a business case honestly. - [/resources/what-an-ergonomic-assessment-should-deliver](https://wereset.ca/resources/what-an-ergonomic-assessment-should-deliver): What an ergonomic assessment should actually deliver (2026-03-04, 6 min). Most assessments end in a PDF. A control ends in a dated action with an owner, and a visit that checks whether it happened. - [/resources/the-first-conversation-decides-the-claim](https://wereset.ca/resources/the-first-conversation-decides-the-claim): The first conversation decides the length of the claim (2026-02-18, 8 min). Early contact is the single most transferable finding in the return-to-work literature, and the cheapest thing on this list to get right. - [/resources/why-capacity-beats-a-lifting-course](https://wereset.ca/resources/why-capacity-beats-a-lifting-course): Why a lifting course does not move your claim numbers (2026-02-04, 7 min). Training changes what a worker knows. It does not change what their back can tolerate. Here is what the Canadian claim data says about which of those 2 drives the number. - [/rss.xml](https://wereset.ca/rss.xml): RSS 2.0 feed of the articles above, English. ## Sectors and audiences - [/sectors](https://wereset.ca/sectors): Priority sectors ranked on 6 published inputs: Transportation and warehousing, Health care and social assistance, Construction, Public administration, Manufacturing, Retail and wholesale trade. - [/for-hr](https://wereset.ca/for-hr): The HR and employer case: absence, modified duty, and what aggregate reporting looks like. - [/for-insurers](https://wereset.ca/for-insurers): The insurer and carrier case: claim duration, return-to-work timing, and benefit-cost evidence. ## Act - [/book](https://wereset.ca/book): Book a free on-site assessment. One short form: name, company, work email, phone and an optional comment. - [/contact](https://wereset.ca/contact): Phone, email, head office, service area, response time and where to direct a specific question. - [/login](https://wereset.ca/login): Client dashboard sign-in.
