What Are Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Services?

We maximize your quality of life through services that provide symptom relief and help you cope with changes in your abilities.

Our services include:

• Physical therapy helps you recover from injuries by improving strength, flexibility and body positioning (mechanics).
• Speech therapy is for people with difficulty swallowing or speaking. Services help people regain their ability to swallow and communicate.
• Occupational therapy teaches you new methods for performing daily tasks when a medical condition limits your physical or mental abilities.
• Rehabilitation restores the highest level of functioning after a severe illness or life-saving surgery.
