Outpatient Therapy Services

Physical Therapy:

Licensed physical therapists and physical therapy assistants design individualized exercise programs for individuals of all ages with a multitude of physical challenges. Physical therapists assess joint motion, muscle strength, sensation, balance, pain, and the safe performance of functional activities. After assessment, programs are then tailored to the participants needs and are designed to promote a long-lasting commitment to wellness and independence using a variety of techniques including aquatic therapy, therapeutic exercise, manual skills, neuromuscular re-education, and patient education and training.

Occupational Therapy:

Occupational therapists and certified occupational therapy assistants work with individuals to increase independence in all areas of life, including work, self-care, and leisure. This would include individuals recovering from bone and tissue injuries of the hand, wrist, elbow, and/or shoulders. Some common diagnoses include arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and disabilities caused by stroke.
