Whether a surgical or non-surgical solution is the correct treatment choice, rehabilitation is an integral
part of the recovery process. Our rehabilitation staff is part of the larger Human Motion Institute
team, all working together to restore function as quickly and safely as possible.
Rehabilitation is more than applying a brace or specific technique. It is a comprehensive program designed
not only to eliminate the deficits of an injury or musculoskeletal problem, but prevent it from returning.
Rehabilitate means to restore to customary activity through education and therapy. Naturally, the kind
of rehabilitation needed varies with the nature and severity of each patient's specific injury. What
doesn't vary is the need for specialized, focused, comprehensive care, whether a patient is being treated
for a one-time problem or for a long-term condition.
We employ a variety of advanced techniques designed to restore normal strength, motion, flexibility
and reduce pain as quickly and safely as possible. The physicians and rehabilitation specialists included
in the physical medicine and rehabilitation division of the Human Motion Institute devote their efforts
toward achieving optimal function for every patient. We specialize in the treatment of neurological
and musculoskeletal disorders including pre-and post-operative care programs.
Since each patient's injury is unique and requires individualized assessment and treatment, within
the Human Motion Institute's continuum of care, rehabilitation plays an extensive role. We work with
each patient's physician(s) to establish an accurate diagnosis quickly and develop a plan of care that
fits the needs of each of our patients.
