A strong team supports our seating program. Physical Therapy in coordination with Occupational Therapy provides for seating needs. Along with seating being provided in custom wheelchairs, modifications are provided for individuals who are ambulatory but present with significant scoliosis or with pressure concerns. All Physical Therapy staff can provide at least simple repairs such as tightening brakes. Our Physical Therapy Assistant has added skills in the area of professional upholstery.
Maintenance provides staff for emergency repairs, along with weekly clinic.
Our Pressure Relief System Program has prevented skin integrity problems. At times, whirlpool treatments have been necessary to resolve persistent pressure wounds. The Physical Therapy Department is constantly developing creative solutions for transfers and mobility issues.
