Our team is committed to helping patients meet their own unique goals and reach their maximum level of function through the latest in therapeutic evaluation and treatment techniques. Guided by our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Medical Director, therapists design individualized evaluations and treatment programs for each patient. Therapists also collaborate with patients and their families or caregivers to develop home programs that help patients increase their function in home, school, work and leisure. Upon completion of any physical therapy program, patients are eligible to join Valley's Fitness Center at a discount through our Alumni Program. The goal of all inpatient physical therapy is to improve the functional level of each patient and it ensure a safe and timely discharge from the hospital.
Treatment focuses on mobility, strength and endurance for functional activities.
Patient education and goal setting is an important part of all treatment. Outpatient services include orthopedic, neurologic and vocational rehabilitation. An arthritis support group is also available. Occupational therapists in each service area provide evaluation and treatment to assure all patients reach their maximum functional level in self care, work and leisure. Therapists help patients and their families with safe and independent discharge plans.
