PHYSICAL THERAPY

Patients in need of physical rehabilitation due to injury or illness find more than expert medical care through our Physical Therapy Department. Our experienced staff of fully certified physical therapists understand patients' needs to confront and meet a range of new challenges.

Whether a patient is trying to adjust to a disability or whether complete rehabilitation is the goal, we know that physical therapy can affect positive mental as well as physical changes. Along with appropriate physical treatment, we provide the education necessary to promote a lifestyle of health and wellness.

Meeting the physical challenges of each patient requires treatment plans that are customized for the individual.
