Physical Therapy (PT)

Physical therapy services are available for patients to achieve their highest level of function following injury, illness, or surgery. PT helps people lead more active and independent lives. Our in-house Physical Therapist, along with trusted local partners, are here to provide these services and support our patients’ recovery and wellness.

• Help improve circulation
• Restore motion
• Relieve pain
• Strengthen muscle
• Prevent injury
• Improve balance
• Promote healing

Improving function is achieved through the use of stretching, exercise, physical modalities, manual therapy and soft tissue mobilization, and functional training techniques.

Occupational Therapy (OT)

Occupational Therapy (OT) treats a wide array of diagnoses. Occupational therapists help people participate in the things they want and need to do after an injury, illness, surgery, or disease. The goal of OT is to improve the patient’s ability to perform daily activities or “occupations”. These occupations include:

• Eating
• Getting dressed
• Taking a shower or bath
• Taking care of children and pets
• Working or going to school
• Participating in hobbies

This service is provided by our in-house Occupational Therapist for the care and convenience of our patients. For questions please call us 307-283-3501.
