Physical Therapy

The expert therapists in Good Shepherd’s Physical Therapy Program are here to help you regain your mobility, strength, balance and endurance.

Levels of care:

If you are stable and ready to leave an acute-care hospital, but are not well enough to go home or to a rehabilitation hospital, our long-term acute care hospital may be appropriate for you.
Patients in Good Shepherd’s four inpatient rehabilitation locations receive three hours of physician-guided physical, speech or occupational therapy each day.
Good Shepherd offers numerous outpatient physical therapy facilities to continue your progress and help you maintain your function.
If you can't make it to one of Good Shepherd's outpatient locations, we provide in-home therapy services throughout our service area.

Physical therapy is offered at Good Shepherd’s two long-term care facilities, which are home to individuals with severe disabilities.

Good Shepherd’s physical therapy approach:

Physical therapy at Good Shepherd is coordinated by a staff of expert physical therapists and physical therapy assistants who provide a team approach to patient care. After an initial consultation, a physical therapist will develop a treatment program designed to meet your goals. You will then be cared for by a physical therapist and an assistant, who will usher you through the entire treatment program and provide the most effective, consistent treatment possible.

When your rehabilitation program is complete, the team will work with you to help facilitate a successful transition from a rehabilitation setting to your home. Our team will help you acquire and train you on the proper use of equipment to maximize your function and independence. We will then provide a written home exercise program to help you maintain the function you gain in therapy.
