Rehabilitation & Therapy

Whether you've suffered an injury at work or on the field, are recovering from surgery or just want to better manage your bone or joint pain, Gateway Regional Medical Center can help.

The rehabilitation program features physical and occupational therapists that provide care on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Working closely with you and your primary physician, we'll design a tailor-made plan to treat your pain and restore movement, balance and strength. And we place special focus on education, arming you with tools and strategies to prevent re-injury.

Personalized Programs to Get You Back to Your Live

Rehabilitation specialties include:

• Physical Therapy: We provide comprehensive exercise and strength and conditioning therapies for severe arthritis, orthopedic trauma and other bone and joint injuries. The team also includes specialized spine therapists trained to help relieve neck and back pain.

• Occupational Therapy: Licensed therapists help you regain the ability to perform daily tasks and improve quality of life following an illness or injury. We simulate work stations, as well as home living situations for activities such as bathing, grooming, meal planning and housekeeping. Along the way, your therapist will provide progress assessments and make any adjustments to maximize your success.

• Post-Operative Therapy: If you're scheduled for a procedure like joint replacement, our program is designed to make your recovery as swift and seamless as possible. Prior to the big day, you'll participate in “prehab”, with exercises designed to strengthen muscles around the joint. Following your procedure, you'll be seen by your therapist in the comfort of your private room. Though everyone's different, we'll work to get you up and moving the same day as surgery, and help you achieve your goals throughout your stay. During this time, we'll also evaluate you to determine if ongoing outpatient therapy and/or home health care is needed, and will coordinate all care.
