PHYSICAL THERAPY
When walking and general mobility are compromised for an individual, safety is also a concern. Our therapists are ready to guide you in techniques for safely regaining and maintaining your strength, endurance and independence. Some treatment methods will include exercises, balance therapy, electrical stimulation, ultrasound and massage or manual techniques to relieve pain and get muscles moving properly.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Daily life is filled with barriers for people experiencing a change in cognitive or physical abilities. Common symptoms addressed include weakness, pain, reduced range of motion, loss of coordination or sensation, cognitive impairment/decline and environmental challenges impacting engagement in daily living.
Our therapists improve safety and accessibility throughout your home to match your individual strengths and challenges. Our team may also assist with positioning needs such as splints, wheelchair accessories and contribute to recommendations for home modifications.
