If you’re in the hospital for an illness, surgery, accident or other condition that results in a loss of abilities you need for daily life, you may need rehabilitation. Our acute rehabilitation team specializes in providing physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech language pathology services to patients who are admitted to University Hospital, Ross Heart Hospital, Brain and Spine Hospital or The James. With both during and after your hospital stay in mind, our team helps with:
- Basic mobility tasks, such as walking and rising from a chair
- Providing education on environmental modifications–changes in the home, office or other spaces that can support your return to daily life
- Answering questions about functional activities (standing, bending, carrying, reaching, walking, etc.)
- Collaborating on post-discharge recovery care based on each patient’s diagnosis and situation
