Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy incorporates the therapeutic use of work, self-care, and play activities to increase independent function, enhance development, and prevent disability. It helps people learn or relearn the skills essential to everyday life. The goal of occupational therapy is to return people to maximum independence and improve their quality of life.
Occupational therapy provides specialized training in the areas of exercise, fine motor tasks, self-care skills, and retraining for acute and chronic medical conditions, helping patients to return to their previous level of independence. Our occupational therapists work closely with the patient, the patient’s family, and his/her physician to develop an individualized treatment plan that best suits the patient’s needs.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapists work with a wide variety of diagnoses and injuries dealing with orthopedic and neurological disorders. Our team helps improve patients’ strength, balance, endurance, and range of motion to achieve maximum possible independence.
Experienced therapists utilize the highest quality equipment available for patient care. Treatments include functional mobility training, therapeutic exercise, pain management, wound care, custom foot orthotics, and education on daily living activities. Appropriate application of modalities, such as moist heat, ultrasound, whirlpool, paraffin, and massage to decrease pain and therapeutic exercise, are important to achieve the individual goals established by the patient/therapist/physician team.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy provides evaluation and treatment of language, cognition, voice, articulation, fluency, and swallowing to children and adults with delays or disabilities. It helps each person work toward increased functioning and independence in their daily lives by providing therapeutic strategies that are specific to each person’s needs. Our speech pathologist works with each individual to establish goals and develop a program to achieve maximum results.
Speech pathologists specialize in human communication, its normal development, its disorders, and the prevention of future disorders. Our speech pathologist can identify, assess and provide treatment for individuals with speech, language, cognitive/communicative, and swallowing disorders.
