PHYSICAL THERAPY

CORE Physical Therapy is a part of a team of healthcare professionals. Our goal is to ensure that you are mobilizing safely in the hospital and prepared for your return home (or transition to the next level of care). Physical therapy helps patients recover from surgery, illness, and debilitating injuries. Emphasis is placed on:

• Physical evaluation of the patient which includes identification of body and system impairments
• Development of patient goals and an individualized comprehensive care plan based on patient needs
• Utilization of evidence-based practice to predict the patient’s expected level of improvement in order to accurately determine goals, discharge needs and rehab prognosis
• Instruction in specific treatments to improve function and promote safe mobility
• Assistive device and adaptive equipment recommendations and training
