Get complete care during recovery with the help of physical, occupational and speech therapists.

Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy Focused on Your Healing

General therapy and rehabilitation combine physical, occupational and speech therapy. Together, these therapies help patients maintain or recover physical abilities after a serious injury or illness.

Each therapy has different benefits:

  • Occupational therapy (OT) – Occupational therapists help patients develop life skills and achieve as much independence as possible.
  • Physical therapy (PT) or physiotherapy – Physical therapists use exercises and physical activities to condition muscles and restore strength and movement.
  • Speech therapy – Speech therapists help people with physical or cognitive disorders use language skills and speak more clearly.

We take the time to get to know you. We’ll use an evaluation to diagnose the specific issue and tailor a treatment plan to your needs. Most importantly, we’ll ensure your therapy puts you on track to reach your short- and long-term goals.
