    Rehabilitative Therapy Specialties

    Occupational Therapy (OT): treatment plans address conditions such as hand, elbow, and shoulder dysfunction and/or disabilities including stroke, acute trauma, fractures, inflammation or dislocations and other chronic repetitive injuries; coordination problems and weakness; and how these conditions may impact activities of daily living.

    Physical Therapy (PT): treatment plans address orthopedic conditions such as joint replacement, fractures, osteoarthritis, low back pain, TMJ, and chronic repetitive injuries. PT can also address neurological disorders and developmental delays.

    Speech Therapy: treatment plans address communication, thinking (cognitive), or swallowing abilities, often caused by stroke, MS, Parkinson’s Disease, or other neurological disorders.

After both severe and minor COVID-19 infections, many patients will experience a variety of heart and lung complications that may require rehabilitation services to overcome.

    To ensure the ability to resume your daily work and hobbies safely and effectively, we are uniquely prepared to guide post-COVID-19 patients through the next phase of their recovery. 

    Common Post-COVID-19 Symptoms

    • Difficulty breathing
    • Fatigue
    • Poor mobility
    • Weakness
