"My daughter has Down’s Syndrome and has been getting therapy at the PT department on Locust St." said the nominator. "When we showed up for therapy, they had a special birthday celebration for her with hats and signs incorporated into her therapy. They just went above and beyond! They have been doing an amazing job with her, especially with her special needs. I just can’t thank them enough.”
Physical therapy can make all the difference when you’re recovering from an injury or illness. The goal of rehabilitation is to minimize your pain and improve your independence in your daily life. Physical therapists can help you understand what has happened to your body after injury or illness, then develop a plan to correct those impairments.
At CGH Medical Center, our physical therapists are movement experts. Their education, clinical expertise, and advanced specializations provide them with the knowledge to identify, diagnose, and treat your movement problems.
