Sidelined' by Injury or Illness? Our Rehab Team Can Get You Back in the Game
Pssst - want to know a little healthcare secret? Many nurses and therapists profess their love for rehabilitation services because of the amazing impact they can have on patients in a matter of days or a couple of weeks. They often see individuals, for instance, hobble into the facility and walk out, cane-free, a few days later.
Rehab frequently produces visible, consistent results. It gratifies clinicians and patients alike. So, if it’s on your to-do list, what’s keeping you from seeing if rehab can give you back your mobility or strength or whatever disability is keeping you from living the life you want to live?
September 16-22 is National Rehabilitation Awareness Week, a time to consider the millions of Americans who suffer from disabilities, injuries, or illnesses that impair their ability to perform the normal activities of daily living. These individuals often live with reduced mobility, balance, coordination, and strength. Rehabilitation Week reminds us that no matter the cause of the disability, recovery is possible, and it can occur quicker than you think.
Southwestern Medical Center offers inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services covering physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Our skilled therapists and rehabilitative nurses come to work each day to help individuals like you regain the ability to live more independently.
