Physical Therapy is a Key Component in Inpatient Rehabilitation

Physical therapy is a key component to our hospital’s team approach to rehabilitation and recovery. Physical therapists work with patients to design specialized testing and exercise programs, to improve balance and coordination, and to increase physical function, mobility and safety.

Most physical therapy takes place in our state-of-the-art gym that houses the latest in rehabilitation technologies. Therapy may include one or a combination of the following:

• Continuation of post-operative physical therapy
• Treatment of orthopedic injuries
• Therapeutic exercise for strengthening
• Bed mobility training
• Transfer training
• Ambulation training
• Teaching the use of walker, cane, crutches and wheelchair
• Fall prevention training
• Pulmonary/cardiac rehabilitation
