Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is what most people think of when they think of rehabilitation from disease or injury. The goal of physical therapy is to restore mobility and strength in patients, which helps to reduce, or even eliminate, the need for medications and surgery. Another big piece of physical therapy is teaching patients how to manage their condition in the long-term.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is focused on regaining independence by giving patients adaptive tools and techniques so that they can accomplish they can perform their activities of daily living on their own. In addition to working with patients at our facility, occupational therapists will also perform on-site assessments at your home or work. This allows them to provide you with recommendations and adaptive tools for an improved quality of life. Occupational therapists also help to educate patients on how to avoid injuries in the future.
