Physical Therapy helps patients who suffer from limitations in physical functioning, movement disorders and pain to regain their maximum level of independence.

Following an evaluation, the physical therapist will design an individualized program based upon each patient's needs. Exercise, manual techniques and education in body mechanics and posture may be included. Training in the use of braces or artificial limbs may also be included.

Additionally, the therapy may be accompanied by the use of various physical modalities, such as heat, cold, water, sound, light and electromagnetic waves, to help eliminate pain, reduce swelling and speed the healing of soft tissue.

Occupational Therapy consists of goal-oriented, purposeful activities to help patients overcome physical disabilities.

Patients receive training in the everyday skills they need to live as independently as possible. These activities help patients adapt their daily activities to the limitations they face, and improve their levels of independence in such self-care activities as grooming, dressing and bathing.
