Rehabilitation therapy is an area of rehabilitative medicine that focuses on helping people regain or maintain their ability to perform their usual daily activities as easily and independently as possible.
Rehabilitation therapy helps people overcome or adapt to permanent or temporary disability. Our staff works to help their patients learn how to manage everyday tasks despite these disabilities, including personal care, household chores, work-related tasks, and social activities. This may involve several therapies, tools, and techniques, including targeted exercise, education and training, adaptive technologies and tools, and environmental modifications.

- Multiple sclerosis: Patient rehabilitation can reduce the severity of symptoms of the disease and improve the ability to complete activities of daily living.
- Parkinson’s Disease: Repetitive physical exercises can improve diachronic motor and sensory-perceptual performance skills.
- Post-Stroke Recovery: Specialized therapy plans can help individuals achieve personal recovery goals.
