Physical Therapy
| Specialty Programs |
Good Shepherd's Physical Therapy Program revolves around helping patients regain physical mobility, strength, balance, and endurance. Physical therapists use treatment methods designed to assist patients with sitting and standing balance, ambulation, stair climbing, and wheelchair mobility. Physical therapists also provide the patient and family with education designed to ensure a smooth transition from rehab facility to home environment. In addition, physical therapists assist with acquiring the necessary equipment for each patient prior to discharge and making sure both the patient and family are aware of proper equipment usage. Physical therapists also provide a written home exercise program.
Physical therapy at Good Shepherd is coordinated by a staff of physical therapists and physical therapy assistants who provide a team approach to patient care. After an initial consultation, an individualized treatment program is designed by the evaluating physical therapist. Each patient in the program is then cared for by a team consisting of a physical therapist and an assistant. This team cares for the patient through the entire treatment program, providing the most effective, consistent treatment possible.
