Our Services 

Our physical therapists provide examination, evaluation and treatment to patients with impairments, functional limitations, disease, and disability. We also provide consultation to the medical and surgical staff regarding physical therapy services. Our physical therapists work to improve each patient's underlying impairments and try to help them make a full recovery, return to their previous level of function or to learn to work within their functional limitations.

• Starting therapy
  Inpatient physical therapy consults are initiated within 48 hours by a referral from the patient's physician.
• Examination
  Our physical therapists perform thorough initial evaluations and use the findings to develop comprehensive treatment programs and establish specific, objective, measurable and time-based goals.
• Team approach
  Our staff works together with other members of the health care team, including physicians, nurses, physician assistants and case managers to provide the best possible care for each patient.
• Discharge
  In many instances, physical therapists assist in deciding when a patient is ready to leave the hospital. We communicate whether or not a patient is safe to be discharged from the hospital or may benefit from a transition to an rehabilitation facility.

Along with the patient's physician, we may recommend that a patient receive physical therapy services in his/her home or on an outpatient basis after leaving the hospital. Additionally, we can determine if they will need assistive equipment such as canes, crutches, walkers or wheelchairs.

Outpatient Referrals

We provide physical therapy after discharge from the hospital and for any person who requires physical therapy on an outpatient basis, Outpatient Physical Therapy.
