Physical and Occupational Therapy

Physical Therapists specialize in the treatment of adult and adolescent patients with sports injuries, orthopedic and spinal conditions, balance and gait disorders, neurological conditions, and musculoskeletal problems. Therapists utilize exercise, education, electrotherapy, massage, thermal agents and other modalities to treat and prevent injuries and disabilities. Some patients benefit from our aquatics program at the Wellness Center. The Wellness Center's warm water therapy pool and the 4-lane, 25-yard lap pool use the properties of water to decrease pain, improve strength, increase range of motion and increase function on land.

Occupational Therapists specialize in helping adults and adolescents regain independence lost due to hand injuries, work-related injuries, neurological conditions and visual problems. Occupational therapy helps clients maximize independence in everyday activities including bathing, dressing, home management and work/play activities. Occupational therapists evaluate the need for adaptive equipment and compensatory techniques to improve success in activities of daily living.
