Our physical therapists provide treatment on muscle and sports injuries, nerve impairment, orthopedic, preoperative and arthritic conditions and cardiovascular conditions. They also provide home health care, school posture screenings and teach prenatal classes. Physical therapy provides industrial assessments, worksite analysis, back and neck care clinics, work capacity tests, sports medicine education and nerve conduction velocity tests and EMGs. Occupational therapy is a health and rehabilitation profession. The service is provided to individuals of all ages who have a physical, developmental or emotional disability and because of such conditions are unable to live an independent and satisfying life.
Occupational therapy uses a program or purposeful activity to aid in the adjustment of the patient.
This helps the patient in everyday life activities by creating a link between hospitalization and their return to the community. Therapy programs are diverse depending on the patient's needs, physician's orders, specified precautions and ingenuity of the occupational therapist. Occupational therapists work with children and adults. Their services can help to facilitate normal development, improve motor development, promote independence in essential life skills, increase mobility, improve strength and endurance, provide assessment of cognitive functions and provide assessment of living and work environments. In addition to a full range of traditional respiratory modalities including ventilator care, aerosol therapy, respiratory support of newborns and code team support, the cardiopulmonary department handles the electrocardiographic duties including cardiac stress testing.
