We also provide pelvic floor rehabilitation for men and women experiencing urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse; and vestibular rehabilitation for people recovering from conditions that affect a person’s ability to balance, such as vertigo.

Occupational Therapy Services

Occupational therapy is available for people with injuries or illnesses of the hand and upper extremity to regain strength, dexterity, and function. Treatments are provided for people healing from wounds, scars, amputations, fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains, and those diagnosed with hand arthritis, joint contracture, nerve injury, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and neurological disorders. We provide a variety of treatments, including custom splint fabrication, in which a hand therapist makes a molded splint to precisely fit your hand and your specific issue.

We provide vision rehabilitation therapies after a stroke or other cerebrovascular accident, brain injury, concussion, or other neurologic incident to improve visual, perceptual, and motor skills, such as reading, writing, computer use, and other work- and school-related activities.

At our seating and mobility clinic, we provide custom wheelchair services to help adults and children who require lifelong use of a wheelchair to live independently, participate in the workforce and recreation activities, and manage their healthcare needs.

Speech–Language Pathology Services

We provide speech–language pathology services for adults with swallowing disorders, voice disorders, speech and language disorders, and cognitive disorders. These are often related to stroke, traumatic brain injury, or conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

We also provide speech–language pathology services for children who have autism, developmental delays, articulation or phonological disorders, and receptive–expressive language disorders.
