Neurological rehab treatments and services
Our certified therapists work with the patient's neurologist to personalize a therapy regimen for each patient's needs, abilities and condition. Neurological rehabilitation may include:
Occupational therapy
Occupational therapists help patients relearn skills for activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing and maintaining personal hygiene. Exercise programs are developed to improve strength, endurance and muscle coordination, and we also provide a certified hand therapist. Occupational therapists collaborate with the patient and family to determine whether modifications may be helpful and what medical equipment may be needed upon the return home.
Physical therapy
Physical therapists focus on restoring physical abilities, maintaining range of motion and strength, teaching appropriate positioning and monitoring patients to prevent bedsores. Physical therapy may also include vestibular and balance training.
Speech therapy
Our speech-language pathologists help with cognition, speech and swallowing capabilities. We use a variety of exercises and other techniques to help patients use their voice and better understand or produce language.
