Whether you need only physical therapy, or a combination of multiple therapies, our team of physical, occupational, speech and respiratory therapists are here to meet your individual needs.

The interdisciplinary team takes into account your condition and abilities to provide you with an outcome-oriented treatment plan. In conjunction with your physician, our team of nurses and therapists help you to set, and reach, your goals to attain your maximum potential.

Your independence is important, and we want to help you restore your abilities. Our team also performs home assessments to ensure your environment is safe and comfortable for your transition back home.

Physical therapy

Physical therapy helps restore movement and function while minimizing pain. Through therapeutic techniques, patients improve strength, muscle control, coordination, balance and locomotion skills.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy focuses on daily living activities to restore independence. These focus on everyday tasks (such as dressing, bathing and eating). Other focuses include household management, meal planning and community interaction.

Speech Therapy

Speech and language pathology address the needs of patients who have become challenged with speech and swallowing disorders.

Respiratory Therapy

Respiratory therapy addresses problems with breathing or other issues pertaining to the lungs or throat.
