Physical therapy
Physical therapy is designed to help you move better, relieve your pain and help improve or restore your physical function.
Physical therapy can help with various medical complexities and can help with recovery following surgery. The goal is to make daily tasks and activities easier through improved physical mobility.
Occupational therapy
Occupational therapy is aimed at enhancing your ability to care for yourself at home and potentially return to work.
Our OTs will help adapt different environments and promote skill development and independence in daily activities, such as feeding, bathing, dressing, cooking, playing, and working.
