Core Services

 

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Physiatrists specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation and treat a wide range of problems from sore shoulders to spinal cord injuries. They serve patients in all age groups and treat problems that touch upon all the major systems in the body. Physiatrists also coordinate the long-term rehabilitation process for patients with cancer, stroke, brain injuries, amputations, multiple sclerosis and other neurological disorders.

 

Physical Therapy

Physical therapists use a variety of techniques to help clients gain or regain better control of their body following injury or illness. Physical therapy may be needed if a client has suffered an injury or illness that has affected motor skills or function. Therapy may consist of evaluation, therapeutic exercises, gait training, adaptive equipment recommendations, massage, heat or cold, or electrical stimulation.



Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Occupational Therapy


Occupational therapists help individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives. Treatment programs are customized for each client and designed to improve one’s ability to perform daily activities. Occupational therapy can include home-and job-site evaluations with adaptation recommendations and usage training.

 

Neuropsychology

A neuropsychologist specializes in brain behavior relationships. Neuropsychologists have extensive training in the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the nervous system and how injury can affect and change relationships within this complex system. A neuropsychological evaluation involves non-invasive, question-and-answer testing that is sensitive to problems in brain functioning.

 

Speech-Language Pathology

 

Occupational Therapy

Speech therapists assess speech and language development and treat speech and language disorders which are common following a neurologic injury. They evaluate, review and help to implement strategies for memory, attention and concentration difficulties, and can also help people with swallowing disorders.

 

Case Management

A case manager works with clients, providers and insurers to help coordinate all therapy services deemed medically necessary. A case manager communicates with the client, family and therapy team to help provide comprehensive and coordinated care. They organize regular team meetings to review the client’s goals and assist with educating the client, their family and insurance carrier as to the progress and therapy plan. The case manager is an advocate and contact person for the client and their family.

 

Day Treatment Program

The neuro rehab day treatment program is offered in a structured and consistent environment that is conducive and specifically geared to help clients achieve optimal independence. Experienced therapists work collectively on a daily basis to ensure successful programming for the client.

 

Transitional Living

Transitional living services are available in an apartment-style room to help clients prepare to return home. This setting can help provide the client and their family with the necessary therapy services and supervision to help reintegrate a client back into their community.
