Physical Therapy

Physical therapy (PT) focuses on helping individuals restore movement, confidence, and independence following injuries, illnesses, or other health challenges. Through movement-based interventions, physical therapists work to improve mobility, reduce pain, enhance physical function, and prevent future injuries. Beyond rehabilitation, physical therapy also emphasizes wellness and preventative care, helping individuals maintain long-term health and engage fully in the activities they love. As highlighted by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), PT is not only about recovery—it’s about empowering people to achieve their highest level of physical well-being.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) is a client-centered and holistic form of rehabilitation designed to help individuals overcome challenges that interfere with their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). These occupations include self-care, household management, work tasks, school activities, leisure pursuits, and social participation.

The goal of occupational therapy is to enable individuals to regain, maintain, or develop the skills needed for independent and meaningful living. Occupational therapists achieve this by adapting environments, modifying tasks, and providing personalized interventions that support each person’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. OT is beneficial for individuals recovering from illness or injury, living with disabilities, or managing chronic health conditions—helping people of all ages improve their overall health, function, and quality of life.

Speech-Language Therapy

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are healthcare professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat disorders related to communication, cognition, and swallowing. Their primary responsibilities include:

  • Evaluating and treating cognitive-communication impairments associated with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, dementia, brain tumors, and stroke.
  • Diagnosing and managing dysphagia (swallowing impairments) through the administration and interpretation of video fluoroscopic swallowing studies or other instrumental assessments.
  • Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams—including physical therapists, occupational therapists, nursing staff, social workers, and physicians—to develop appropriate treatment plans, provide recommendations, and support discharge planning related to speech clarity, social communication, cognitive-communication skills, and swallowing function.
