“After back surgery, I couldn’t walk without a walker or shower without help. After all the help I got from 21st Century Rehab in Madrid, I’m going back to work after a year off. They do great work and are happy to help people.” -Wayne D.

21st Century Rehab is focused on helping employers hire the right workers and keeping them safe and productive at work through extensive knowledge and unmatched customer service. Preventing injuries and reducing the costs associated with injured workers is the goal for companies and what drives each of our services. We currently work with many employers in Iowa to accomplish these goals.

Our services include:

Additionally, we have clinics with CRT, Cost Reduction Technology (isokinetic strength testing) and PCP, Physical Capacity Profile (isometric strength testing) pre-employment and post-injury testing.
