Inpatient physical rehabilitation services

We understand that every illness and injury is different. We also believe you deserve a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs.

During weekly meetings, your therapy team discusses your progress, goals and discharge planning. Afterwards, we will inform you and your family of any concerns and prepare you as necessary.

During your stay, you will have at least three hours of therapy daily, five to six days a week. Each session will be focused on identifying and improving your limitations, such as flexibility or strength, and working towards your health goals.
