Our goal is to restore maximum movement and function to help you return to the lifestyle you desire. More on physical therapy
Speech Therapy
Our certified and licensed speech-language pathologists are trained to evaluate and treat disorders that affect your speech, language, cognition and swallowing. Using personalized treatment plans we help restore or improve your communication abilities.
Occupational Therapy
Our objective is to help you resume activities of daily living (ADLs). We’ll help you return to life roles that have been interrupted by injury or disease. You’ll learn effective methods of approaching ADLs differently, including use of special equipment for lower body dressing, managing medications in the presence of declining memory or thought processes, and retraining to manage loss of hand or arm function due to stroke.

Lymphedema Management
If you suffer from or have increased risk of developing lymphedema, a chronic swelling of the arms, legs, trunk or head and neck due to a change in your body’s ability to drain fluid naturally through the lymphatic system, we can help. Our certified lymphedema therapists will help manage your condition through Complete Decongestive Therapy, which may include manual lymph drainage techniques, compression wrapping, skin care and exercise. If you’re at risk for lymphedema we’ll teach you what to do to help prevent this condition from occurring.
Industrial Rehabilitation
Work Conditioning Program—Using a variety of equipment we create work simulation activities that mirror the posture, motions and weight loads your vocation requires for you to return to work.
Functional Capacity Evaluation—We perform comprehensive, objective evaluations that document your ability to safely perform work-related tasks from a physical, medical, behavioral and ergonomic perspective.
Women's Rehabilitative Services
Issues of urinary incontinence are quite common among women with one in four experiencing urinary leakage or loss of bladder control during their lifetime. Focused physical therapy can help reduce or eliminate symptoms through pelvic floor retraining, exercise and biofeedback. Pelvic pain, bladder or uterine organ prolapse and complications surrounding pregnancy and postpartum are also treatable with physical therapy. Visit with your doctor to see if you are a candidate for this specialized therapy.
