Physical therapy and rehabilitation

Our providers are skilled at providing cognitive evaluations for when you are recovering from a neurological event (such as a stroke) or a head injury. The evaluation typically includes many short tests that assess your attention, memory, reasoning and thinking, and it is designed to discover subtle changes that cannot be seen on imaging tests.

After an injury or surgery, you may find that you have new temporary or permanent limits in performing everyday tasks and living independently. Our program provides support, education and tools so that you can better perform activities of daily living. We often provide support for self-care, fine motor skills, use of adaptive equipment, safety and home modifications and neuromuscular reeducation.

Our outpatient physical therapy program offers convenient access to experts who will help you restore and maintain function and movement that you may have lost due to a health condition, surgery or injury. Using medically supervised exercises, we manage and treat the musculoskeletal system, bones and joints with exercises often including cardiovascular, strength and endurance training. Additionally, we provide manual therapy techniques.

Our speech therapists work with you when you have had an injury or condition that affects your ability to communicate or swallow. We provide bedside swallow evaluations to help create an accurate diagnosis. We also provide customized support when you need to relearn swallowing or communicating. We want you to regain speech at the highest level and focus on fluency, articulation and voice quality.

Our experts from our wound care program assist you with any acute, chronic or nonhealing wounds using advanced techniques and procedures. Our physical therapy and rehabilitation specialists work as a team with your case managers, diabetes educators and your physician to help you work toward healing and recovery.

As you continue your life after discharge, you may find that you actually benefit from ongoing therapy. As such, we provide programs such as modified barium swallow studies that are designed to meet your needs in a comfortable setting optimal for continued healing.
