Services

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Our Physical Therapists (PTs) are medical professionals who have gone through years of training and are licensed to treat patients. Your PT will not only have you perform exercises but can also help with pain management through use of manual techniques, instruct you on how to approach difficult tasks as well as, provide education on preventative care.

Based on evaluation findings, your physical therapist may work on any number of the following:​

​

  • Strength/muscle function

  • Flexibility/range of motion

  • Posture

  • Coordination/balance

  • Joint and overall mobility

  • Neurological function

  • Cardiac/pulmonary function

  • Skin integrity

​

Once an evaluation has been performed, your therapist will create a plan and work with you to establish goals for your recovery. Those goals may include the reduction of pain, the return of movement, and/or regaining independent daily function.

 

Education is a large part of every therapist’s job. Each therapist, whether it be your PT, OT or SLP; will help you to understand your condition and teach you how to maintain your newly achieved goals through a home exercise program and continued participation in daily activities. 

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Our Occupational Therapists (OTs) are licensed health care professionals who are particularly skilled in helping to improve mental and physical performance.  OTs are also trained on treating pain, improving range of motion, strength and functional mobility in order to help you find ways to perform daily activities that you need or want to do.

While the word "occupation" usually means a job or profession, it can also refer to everyday activities that let us live independently and bring meaning to our lives. Taking part in meaningful activities can have a positive influence on your health and overall wellbeing.

You might not think about these daily activities until they’re hard to do. Finding ways for you to do them is an occupational therapist's primary concern.  Our Occupational therapists specialize in teaching, educating and supporting your participation in any activity you find challenging.  They particularly focus on Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL's). These may include but are not limited to:

​

  • The ability to use the telephone

  • Complete Laundry and household chores

  • Bathing and dressing

  • Shopping and running errands

  • Transportation

  • Meal preparation

  • Medication management

  • Fine motor coordination - writing, grasping, pinching

  • Ability to manage finances

Speech Language Pathology

Our Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) are experts in communication. They will work with you on treating a variety of communication and swallowing problems. A speech-language pathologist has many responsibilities. Typically, they will evaluate your communication or swallowing abilities, diagnose underlying problems, develop a personal treatment plan and provide therapy which may include:

​

  • Helping you to speak clearly and easily

  • Using exercises to strengthen muscles used to speak or swallow properly

  • Helping you to increase the number of words you can say and/or understand

  • Educating you on ways to improve putting words together in sentences

  • Providing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems for those with severe language disorders

  • Educating you and your families about how to overcome challenges stemming from the communication or swallowing problems

  • Providing aural rehabilitation, that helps improve quality of life for those with hearing loss

  • Addressing Cognitive-Communication Disorders

    • Usually, the result of an injury to the brain that causes problems with memory, attention, organization, or reasoning, cognitive-communication disorders can make it difficult for a person to speak, listen, read, or write.
