Capacity you can measure rather than estimate.
An assessment sees one hour of a life that changes hour by hour. Your client arrives after a journey on a day you did not choose. The Hurt Square guide gives them somewhere to record tolerance and task demand and travel load while they are living it. You open the file with a dated picture in front of you rather than a description built in the room.

Function changes hour by hour and an assessment sees one of those hours.
One visit is one snapshot
You see a client on a single day at a single time after a single journey. Capacity on a good morning and capacity on a difficult afternoon can look like two different people.
Tolerance is estimated rather than measured
How long someone sustains standing or sitting or gripping before symptoms begin is the number that carries the most weight. Almost nobody arrives knowing it.
Real task demands go undescribed
Clients describe their work as heavy or light. What is missing is the specific task that stops them and the reason it stops them.
Progress gets flattened
Without a baseline a client six weeks in will often say nothing has changed. A dated record usually says otherwise.
None of this is a client failing. It is what happens when someone in pain is asked to measure function with nothing to measure it against.
What your clients bring you
The guide gives clients a structure for recording function while they are living it.
Tolerance recorded as a number
How long each activity is sustained before symptoms begin written against the activity itself rather than recalled later.
A daily picture across weeks
Pain and energy and mobility and sleep on a consistent scale so a good day and a difficult day sit side by side.
Aggravating tasks named at the time
What the client was doing when function dropped captured on the day rather than reconstructed in your room.
Community mobility and travel load
Distance and method and the recovery cost of getting there. This is often the hidden barrier to attending anything at all.
A return to work conversation with evidence in it
Capacity described in the client's own record ready to be matched against real job demands.
Choose a block
Pick the tier that matches how many collision and workplace injury patients you see. Buy it outright or request an invoice if you run purchases through accounts payable.
Receive your codes
Your licence codes arrive by email as a single list. None of them is tied to a named patient. There is nothing to assign in advance and nothing sitting on your desk.
Your patient redeems
You hand over a code at the end of an appointment. Your patient redeems it themselves and starts documenting that evening while the details are still fresh.
What the full guide covers
The national guide runs to more than one hundred and sixty pages across ten sections. It covers the whole arc from the day of the accident to long-term stability.

Every province and territory has its own boards and deadlines and benefit limits and contacts. The national guide pairs with a provincial add-on so the people you serve work from the rules that actually apply to them.
