Physical Therapy at Oaklawn
Physical therapy can help an individual increase joint movement and muscle strength, as well as improve endurance, balance, coordination and mobility. It can also be very effective in relieving pain. Our skilled physical therapists work with people recovering from illness, injury or surgery according to each patient’s customized plan.
In addition to the advanced equipment that our patients use during their therapy, we also make a whirlpool available to them in our spa room. And, there’s an entryway from our physical therapy area into our lovely garden courtyard so that patients can practice walking or using a wheelchair on a variety of outdoor surfaces.
In addition to providing our patients with the physical benefits of therapy, our program is designed to:
- Teach residents and families the skills for returning home
- Address safety issues in the home environment
- Create a personalized therapeutic exercise program
- Train caregivers
