News & Views from Campus: January 26 – February 1, 2020
Christine Broeker, Rehab Secretary, Writes . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I would like to share with you some
information about the Therapy Department.
Services available from the Therapy Department are Physical Therapy,
Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Out Patient Services, and Warm Water
Aquatics. Here is a brief description
how each one of these services might be able to help you.
Physical
Therapy – Physical Therapy assists in
the rehabilitation to restore normal function after an illness or injury that
effect the motor functions of the body.
Physical Therapy can prevent or reduce joint stiffness, restore muscle
strength, and retrain joint and muscles to enable a person to achieve their
highest level of mobility.
Occupational
Therapy – Occupational Therapy is the
use of purposeful activity with individuals who are limited by physical injury,
illness, or the aging process to maximize independence, prevent disability, and
maintain health. Occupational Therapy
helps patients to confront and solve the problems of daily living, by
relearning muscular control and coordination to cope with everyday tasks such
as dressing.
Speech
Therapy – Speech Therapy works with
patients to develop or improve communication skills speaking, reading, and
writing techniques after a serious illness or physical injury. Speech Therapy also works with oral motor
deficits that may affect the person’s ability to eat. Speech Therapy works closely with the
dietitian in diet modifications to maintain safe, adequate, nutritious, oral
intake to maintain health.
Out
Patient Services – Physical,
Occupational, and Speech Therapy Services are all available (to people in the
cottages and community) on an outpatient basis.
Arthritis Pool Classes – We offer warm water aquatic group exercises. They consist of simple range of motion exercises that are done at your own pace. These classes are led by a qualified instructor and would be a great asset to your health and fitness program. Our program comes highly recommended by local physicians. We have recently changed the class times they are as follows.
Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m.
Monday-Friday 9:15 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
Monday-Friday 10:45 a.m. – 11:45 p.m.
If you have any questions regarding any of these services please contact Christine Broeker at 223-8717 ext. 4201.
