Physical Therapy

Our physical therapists (PT) are movement experts who enhance and restore functional ability and improve quality of life for those with an injury, impairment or disability. Through prescribed exercises, hands-on care and patient education, our physical therapists teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition to achieve long-term health benefits. PTs examine each individual and develop a treatment plan to promote the ability to move, reduce pain and restore function.

Our physical therapists provide expert personalized treatment using a variety of techniques and procedures as well as comprehensive patient education to assist you in achieving your rehabilitation goals.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps patients across their lifespan to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of functional activities. Occupational therapy practitioners enable those of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote their health, and prevent or live better with injury, illness or disability.

Our occupational therapists provide highly-skilled treatment that is individualized and focused on using activities to maximize function.

Speech-Language Pathology

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication and swallowing disorders in children and adults.

Our speech-language pathologists are committed to providing quality diagnostic and rehabilitative services. Our speech-language pathologists are highly trained and hold national certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. We provide services for a wide range of adult and pediatric disorders.
