REHAB SERVICES |
The Basis of Physical Therapy Treatment is Active Therapy. This means that the patient plays an active role in the treatment process by carrying out the Various Therapeutic Exercise Techniques that are specified by the Physical Therapist. We believe that Active Therapy is crucial for the rehabilitation to have successful results.
To help the patient execute the prescribed therapeutic exercises, our facility is equipped with Biodex medical exercise equipment. These machines are specifically designed for rehabilitation, and can be used by patients of nearly every level of functional capability. In addition, we make use of many other types of exercise apparatus including Thera-Bands, medicine balls, physio-balls, weights, and more to help the rehab process.
