Physical Therapy

Rapid Recovery Suites Physical Therapy program is second to none with documented successful outcomes in helping people reach their goals.

A physical therapist will evaluate your individual needs and will then work with you to achieve your specific goals. The ultimate aim is to restore optimal physical function, independence and quality of life. Physical therapy also helps to increase strength and balance issues that may have made it difficult for you to function at home or within a senior living community.

You’ll have the opportunity to test your progress in our Activities of Daily Living therapy house. This allows patients to practice all their learned skills in a true homelike environment before being discharged. If you’d like, our therapists will also go to your home to assess any potential problem areas to help ensure your safety.
