Types of Outpatient Therapy We Provide

St. Barnabas Medical Center has a highly skilled team of physical and occupational therapists, who are experts in helping patients recover from injury, stroke, or other trauma with customized rehabilitative therapy sessions. Rehabilitation is care that can help you regain, maintain, or improve abilities that you need for daily life. Some of the most common causes for a person to receive rehabilitation therapy include injuries and trauma, stroke, major surgery, side effects from medical treatments, certain birth defects and genetic disorders, chronic pain, and more. Types of outpatient rehabilitation therapies we provide at St. Barnabas include:

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is required following a traumatic injury or joint replacement to help you obtain the best range of motion and joint function possible. It can help lessen or even eliminate discomfort from regular activities such as walking, climbing stairs, sitting, and standing. A tailored treatment plan will be devised by your physical therapist and may include gentle exercise, mobilization techniques, and stretching.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is a type of rehabilitation for people who have suffered from a physical, neurological, or mental illness or trauma and need to relearn skills for daily activities. Patients can learn to do important daily functions at occupational therapy, from getting dressed to writing to finding a new way to enjoy favorite pastimes. The team of occupational therapists at St. Barnabas is dedicated to helping patients adapt to new challenges and live their lives to the fullest.

Aquatic Physical Therapy

Aquatic therapy is an effective type of rehabilitation program that is performed in the water and may be used to treat a wide range of medical issues. The physical properties of water are used in aquatic therapy to aid in patient recovery and exercise performance. Aqua therapy also relieves some of the harsh effects of gravity on the body, making movement easier and less painful. It is a safe and comfortable rehabilitation alternative for patients to undergo when it’s difficult to do so in other ways. It also eliminates the worry of falling on a hard surface, making patients more at ease than they might be with traditional physical therapy services.

Speech Therapy

Speech therapy is a rehab technique for people who are experiencing speech loss due to brain injuries, dementia, or stroke to help regain it. St. Barnabas helps patients who have problems pronouncing words, stuttering, or understanding what others are saying. Our speech therapists help patients to regain functional communication through a range of exercises and drills.

Our rehabilitative specialists have extensive experience treating patients recovering from trauma and other injuries, and they’ll work with you to decide on the best treatment that will allow you to regain your mobility and independence quickly.
