Some of the issues for which we provide orthopedic rehabilitation include:


Physical therapy

Physical therapists help diagnose, manage and treat disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, bones and joints. During treatment, physical therapists will medically supervise exercise that helps you restore and maintain maximum movement and function. Physical therapy may include cardiovascular exercise, strength training, endurance exercises and manual therapy techniques.


Pulmonary rehabilitation

This type of rehabilitation supports pulmonary care by improving lung and respiratory function for people with chronic respiratory diseases and disorders. Pulmonary rehab usually involves a combination of education, exercise and personalized support.


Speech therapy

Our speech-language pathologists help you with communication and swallowing problems. These abilities may have been previously lost due to medical conditions, such as stroke. Speech therapists help you relearn these abilities, focusing on fluency, articulation and voice quality.
