Physical Therapy

While you are a patient at Christian Health’s Bolger Short-Term Rehab, your individualized rehabilitation plan will likely include physical therapy services. Physical therapy is a medical specialty that focuses on improving and promoting mobility and function.

Physical therapy may include:

  • Illness management and recovery
  • Symptom identification
  • Exercises to restore strength and balance
  • Training to walk safely with or without canes or walkers
  • Training to move safely from bed to chair and back again
  • Use of heat, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation modalities to assist in pain control
  • Training of aides and/or family members in safe techniques for assisting in care
  • Evaluating the need to splint legs to minimize loss of motion
  • Consulting with physicians and staff on other equipment needs of the individual
