What are rehabilitative therapies?
Physical Therapy
Physical Therapists (PTs) are trained to improve movement and function. PTs work with a wide variety of problems including strokes, total joint replacements, fractures, Parkinson's disease and arthritis. Physical Therapy treatment programs are designed to improve coordination, increase range of motion, increase strength, regain function and restore mobility.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapists (OTs) work with patients to promote functional independence and to prevent further disability. OTs help patients to overcome limitations imposed on them because of injury or illness. With occupational therapy treatment programs, patients learn to adapt to their physical and social environments. For example, a patient after a stroke or hip fracture may learn how to independently dress and cook.
Speech and Language Pathology
Speech and Language Pathologists (SLPs) work with patients with both communication and swallowing problems. Patients with various neurological problems may lose the ability to express themselves and to understand others. SLPs work with patients to regain their highest possible level of communication. In addition, some patients lose the ability to safely swallow. SLPs are specially trained to evaluate and treat swallowing disorders.
