Outpatient Therapy for WHAT?
Think Beyond Just Injuries
Dizziness/Balance Problems
People who experience dizziness or feel off-balance while moving may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation. Patients learn proper head, body, and eye strengthening exercises. Balance and gait training also are emphasized, as are effective coping strategies.
Lymphedema
Lymphedema is swelling that can develop following surgery, infection, injury or after cancer treatments. Compression therapy and therapeutic massage is used, along with patient education to learn bandaging and self-care practices.
Swallowing Difficulties
VitalStim® electrical stimulation, along with other traditional therapies, can strengthen muscles in the throat that are involved in swallowing food or liquids.
Neuro-Rehabilitation/Stroke Recovery
A multi-disciplinary team of physical, occupational and speech therapists focuses on improving balance, gait, hand/arm function, daily living activities, memory problems and speech difficulties during neuro-rehabilitation/stroke recovery.
