Rehabilitation Team

Physical Therapists

Work to strengthen the large muscles in the lower body and emphasize gait training and improved balance. They evaluate strength, endurance, coordination and range of motion in order to acheive the best outcome from therapy.

Occupational Therapists

Concentrate on upper-body strengthening. They ensure that the patient will be as independent as possible in daily living activities, which include bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming and eating. In addition, they may assess cognitive and perceptual skills.

Speech Therapists

Treat communication impairments, which may include difficulty in speaking, understanding, thinking, reasoning, memory, reading, writing or mathematics. They provide exercises to improve speech quality and memory. They assess your swallowing skills, and collaborate with dietitians regarding recommended diet and liquid consistencies to ensure safe swallowing
