Working closely with you and your physician, your rehabilitation team will design a tailor-made treatment plan to help relieve your pain and restore greater strength, function and mobility. Specialties include:
- Physical Therapy: We provide comprehensive exercise, strength, and conditioning therapies for severe arthritis, multiple orthopedic traumas and other bone and joint injuries. The team also includes specialized spine therapists trained to help relieve neck and back pain.
- Occupational Therapy: We’ll help you regain the ability to perform daily activities following an illness or injury; home living situations are simulated for activities such as bathing, grooming, meal planning and housekeeping.
- Post-Operative Therapy: If you’re hospitalized following surgery like joint replacement, you’ll be seen by a physical therapist in the comfort of your private room. We often will have you out of bed the same as surgery in a comfortable recliner.

Stroke and Rehabilitation
Whenever possible, the American Stroke Association strongly recommends that stroke patients be treated at an in-patient rehabilitation facility rather than a skilled nursing facility. While in an in-patient rehabilitation facility, a patient participates in at least three hours of rehabilitation a day from physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Nurses are continuously available and doctors typically visit daily. An in-patient rehabilitation facility may be a free-standing facility or a separate unit of a hospital.
