Stroke Specialty Rehabilitation
Recovering from a stroke may prove challenging, but with the proper therapeutic regimen it’s possible to regain the skills you need to resume independent living. At Bon Secours Physical Therapy we work to improve each patient’s physical status and communication abilities in order to return to their previous activity level. We provide speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy in one location to promote communication between the three disciplines to ensure the best outcome for each patient. In addition to our gym and treatment areas, we also have an Activities of Daily Living Task Room in which we utilize household appliances to regain independence with everyday activities.
