Our therapists will provide treatment as well as education about home care and bandaging. Part of our treatment includes careful movement of the affected joint or muscle to increase mobility and promote healing. The assistance we provide with healing can also be applied to sports injuries. Our rehabilitative services help patients improve their level of function through increased strength and flexibility. We also help patients regain balance and improve their walk, improving daily activity.
Patients learn proper body mechanics so that lifting and movement is done safely.
Rehabilitation programs may involve use of equipment at the Physical Therapy Clinic, participation in our aquatics therapy at the Hot Springs, or exercises we develop for you to do at home. Our staff will help establish an individualized exercise program specific to your condition and goals. In addition to the physical aspects of rehabilitation, we provide mental and emotional support to cardiac patients who have heart problems and disease and we provide retraining to neurologic patients who have had stroke, head or spinal cord injury. Pain Management With healing, rehabilitation, and retraining comes some pain. We work with you to help reduce the pain while maintaining your progress.
