Physical Therapy

Improving function and quality of life
Overview

Physical Therapy
at PAM Health

Physical therapy is a non-invasive form of treatment for disorders and injuries. Physical therapy uses methods like exercise, massage, and heat to reduce the difficulties associated with various conditions. Some individuals prefer this practice over surgery or prescription drugs, while others need physical therapy post-surgery to improve function. Regardless of an individual’s needs or preferences, physical therapy is an excellent tool for developing strength.

Our Approach

Individualized Treatment Plans

Our physical therapy practice focuses on creating individualized treatment plans for you to ensure you receive the help you need. Our PTs perform bodily exams and evaluations to understand the full extent of your condition. With the support of our physical therapist assistants, our PTs will employ various techniques to improve your mobility.

Rehabilitation practices may include:

  • Exercises
  • Aquatic therapy
  • Mobility training
  • Neurological techniques
  • Orthopedic manual therapy

We offer both inpatient and outpatient programs, so you can choose the best option for you. Our outpatient program is ideal for treating injuries and more minor conditions as it does not involve around-the-clock service and attention. For chronic illness or more severe injuries, our inpatient programs give you 24/7 access to our PTs to ensure you receive the guidance you need at all times.

Who Can Benefit?

Treating Various Conditions

Injuries, illnesses, and conditions that limit the range of motion or abilities like walking could benefit from physical therapy. While some situations may need physical therapy exclusively, others may work best in conjunction with other specialists and regimens to create a well-rounded recovery program.

At PAM Health, our physical therapy services help patients heal and return to their daily activities with confidence. Whether you are rehabilitating an injury, recovering from major surgery, or living with a chronic condition, our individualized treatment programs will help you see improvement and reduce your chances of readmission.

Levels of Care

Inpatient & Outpatient Physical Therapy

Inpatient
Physical Therapy

For those who need more intensive care, inpatient physical therapy may be the best option. This form of rehabilitation focuses on working with patients over a shorter period to maximize their recovery.

The goal is to help you return home being as independent and productive as possible.

Physical Therapy

Some patients prefer outpatient care, especially those whose injuries or medical conditions are not severe enough to require hospitalization.

Outpatient rehabilitation allows patients to come to our hospital for a few hours of treatment during the day and return home each night. 
Comprehensive outpatient therapy is also available to patients who want to maintain or enhance their recovery after inpatient rehab.
