Our licensed Physical Therapists are experts in helping patients decrease risk from falls; recover from joint replacement and other orthopedic surgeries; adapt to stroke related disabilities, Parkinson’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis; and maximize function associated with cardiac and pulmonary disorders. Physical Therapists assist individuals in improving their ability to perform the functional tasks of mobility, walking, balance, energy conservation and day to day activities.

Occupational Therapists conduct comprehensive evaluations of a client’s home, recommend necessary adaptive equipment, and assist patients in personal care such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting. Our Occupational Therapists treat with a holistic approach focusing on adapting the environment to fit the patient and addressing safety needs.

Speech Therapists evaluate and treat communication/speaking skills, eating/swallowing deficits and cognitive difficulties. They work with family members and caregivers to provide strategies that facilitate and maintain functional communication.
