Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps people across the lifespan to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Occupational therapists (OTs) enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability. Cognitive therapy, upper extremity & hand injuries/impairments/surgeries are amongst their many specialty areas.

OTs examine each individual and develop a plan using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. OTs have a holistic perspective, in which the focus is on adapting the environment and/or task to fit the person. It is an evidence-based practice deeply rooted in science.

Our rehab facility is equipped with a full Activities of Daily Living (ADL) kitchen for retraining and specialized hand-therapy equipment.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a dynamic profession with an established theoretical and scientific base with widespread clinical applications in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function. Physical therapists (PTs) are health care professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest that have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. PTs help you maintain mobility and quality of life without surgery or prescription medication, in many cases.

PTs examine each individual and develop a plan using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. In addition, PTs work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.

Our rehab facility is equipped with 4 private treatment rooms and a full gym.
