Physical Therapy

NHC offers inpatient, outpatient, and home health rehabilitative therapy, which allows for continuity in the therapy plan and for a continuing relationship with the physical therapist when the patient returns home.

At NHC, the focus is on rehabilitation and physical therapy which play a vital role in patient care. A Registered Physical Therapist evaluates the patient’s needs and establishes an individual treatment plan to assist the patient in regaining the highest degree of function possible.

Both children and adults are served by physical therapists at NHC. The therapists work with patients who have suffered loss of function as a result of strokes, falls, hip fractures, athletic injuries, accidents, back problems, arthritis, or other illnesses. A physical therapist works to help patients restore muscle strength, relieve pain, and regain mobility. NHC’s therapists also provide training in the use of orthotic, prosthetic, and other assistive devices.
