Therapies offered include:Physical Therapy (PT) provides evaluation and treatment of problems related to muscles, nerves and joints – conditions that limit an individual’s ability to function. The Physical Therapy team works towards regaining function through strengthening and re-educating weak muscles, increasing joint motion, reducing and managing musculoskeletal pain, and restoring movement. A component of Physical Therapy is directed at preventing injury and loss of movement as well as educating the individual regarding management of their condition. Occupational Therapy (OT) utilizes activities that improve an individual’s functional skills and adapt the environment to achieve greater levels of independence. The goal is to return people to the “occupation” of living. Occupational Therapist and Assistants work towards maximizing the individual’s recovery process.
