Rehabilitation

Our rehabilitation department prides itself on providing high-quality, personalized care in your hometown. We work with adults and children who, due to disabilities or complex medical conditions, need assistance in developing everyday skills that allow them to function more independently at home, school, or work.

What is Physical Rehabilitation?

Physical rehabilitation is a comprehensive program designed to help individuals recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and enhance their overall functional abilities. It encompasses various therapies aimed at restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving the quality of life for patients. 

Our skilled, highly qualified Physical, Occupational, and Speech therapists are experienced in working with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of neurological, developmental, and orthopedic conditions. Our patients include those in both in-patient and outpatient settings, as well as acute, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care. Some of the conditions we treat include but are not limited to:

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy focuses on improving mobility, strength, and function through specific exercises and treatment techniques. Our skilled physical therapists work with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. Techniques may include: 

1. Manual therapy
2. Therapeutic exercises
3. Modalities such as heat or cold therapy

Physical therapy is essential for individuals recovering from surgery, injury, or illness, helping them regain their independence and return to daily activities.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps patients improve their ability to perform daily activities and regain their independence after an injury or illness. Our occupational therapists assess each patient’s needs and design individualized programs that may include:

1. Exercises to improve fine motor skills
2. Adaptive equipment training
3. Strategies to enhance daily living skills

Whether it’s returning to work, managing household tasks, or participating in hobbies, our goal is to help patients achieve a higher level of function in their everyday lives.

Real Happy & Healthy Patient Reviews

Great little emergency. I was assessed, diagnosed, and treated within a few hours! The staff is very friendly. I received thorough and compassionate care. If you have the misfortune of needing to visit a hospital, I’d recommend this one.

- Verified Patient

This is the best hospital ever. The nurse who took care of me for the three months as I was comatose went above and beyond her job. Everybody in the ER and the hospital was so nice to me.

- Verified Patient

No complaints at all – the ER doc took her time and everyone was unfailingly kind and friendly.
