An Update Regarding Seasonal Illnesses

To help prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear a mask while in ambulatory clinics or inpatient units. Surgical masks are available at hospital and clinic entrances. Patients with respiratory illnesses should also wear masks. Thank you for helping protect our patients, staff, and community.

Physical and Occupational Therapy

Each patient will experience a treatment program designed especially for them. By working with the patient to create a unique plan of care physical and/or occupational therapists may provide the following interventions:

  • Walking and balance retraining
  • Wheelchair seating and medical equipment assessment
  • Mobilization techniques
  • Manual therapy
  • Return to sport retraining
  • Range of motion, strengthening, flexibility, and stabilization exercises
  • Body weight supported treadmill training
  • Neuromuscular re-education
  • Splinting
  • Functional mobility and transfer retraining
  • Activities of daily living (ADLs) retraining
  • Contracture management
  • Vestibular rehabilitation
  • Fall prevention 

Inpatient Therapy

Physical and occupational therapists also work with patients while they are in the hospital to help them regain independence and function. They can also help in making sure the patient goes to a safe setting when they are ready to leave the hospital. This could be home, but could also be to a non-hospital setting that helps with physical therapy.
