Our dedicated teams of Physical Therapists work with residents who have or are recovering from muscoskeletal disorders, neurological dysfunctions, and injuries or illnesses that impair function. They are experts in function and movement, and focus not only on treating injuries but preventing them. Our Physical Therapists teach all residents home exercise programs so that they can continue to improve once treatment is complete.

Every day countless individuals experience problems that affect their ability to manage their daily lives. Our Occupational Therapists provide a customized treatment program to improve function for Activities for Daily Living (ADL’s), such as, dressing, bathing, cooking, cleaning, driving and returning to work. Many individuals can benefit from Occupational Therapy, including those with Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, Arthritis and hand, wrist or arm injuries.

Speech Language Pathologists treat disorders of speech, language, cognitive communication, voice, swallowing, fluency and related areas. Our Speech Language Pathologist addresses individual’s speech production, vocal production, swallowing difficulties and language needs through speech therapy in a variety of different contexts.

In diathermy, high-frequency electrical currents are used to heat deep muscular tissues. The heat increases blood flow, speeding up recovery. Diathermy can be used to treat arthritis and other conditions involving stiff, painful joints.
Diathermy involves heating deep muscular tissues. When heat is applied to the painful area, cellular metabolism speeds up and blood flow increases. The increased metabolism and circulation accelerates tissue repair. The heat helps the tissues relax and stretch, thus alleviating stiffness. Heat also reduces nerve fiber sensitivity, increasing the patient's pain threshold.

E-Stim is an integrated pain therapy used to prevent or reduce muscle atrophy, the weakening and loss of muscle bulk and tone, which is usually experienced after surgery or injuries. E-Stim can provide pain relief, improve range and motion and releases fascia.
E-Stim is also used as a means of increasing blood flow to muscles, increasing range of movement, muscle strength and enhancing muscle endurance. It is also used for pain management in muscle related pain, such as spastic, sore or tight muscles.

Treatment by ultrasound is used particularly for soft tissue injuries but also for a variety of more chronic conditions, with a view to promoting healing and relieving pain.
Ultrasound Treatment helps to relieve pain and inflammation, and increases range of motion in some instances. It also accelerates the healing process, and the vibrations also heat deep tissues and relieve pain.

VitalStim Therapy is a safe and effective treatment for patients suffering with difficulty swallowing or dysphasia. VitalStim Therapy is a non-invasive, external electrical stimulation therapy. The therapy uses specifically designed electrodes applied to the muscles of the throat to promote proper swallowing.
Dysphasia is defined as difficulty with swallowing. It can occur as a result of a stroke or other neurological disease, normal aging or after a long period of inactivity.
VitalStim Therapy is designed to help swallowing through the use of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES). Electrical stimulation is used to aid muscle strengthening to rehabilitate the swallow. The sensory stimulation that is provided also helps muscle recruitment and swallowing function.
