Rehabilitation Services

Sheridan Community Hospital’s Physical Therapists, as members of the healthcare team, work closely with doctors and nurses regarding the care of their patients. Their primary focus is to help people return to their former level of function or assist them in becoming as independent as possible.

The staff provides comprehensive physical therapy services, for people of all ages, in a relaxed and friendly environment. They get to know their patients on a personal basis to better understand and fulfill their individual needs.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Physical Therapists work to rehabilitate injuries, build strength, prevent falls, and assist in recovery. They help patients resume regular life activities such as walking, exercising, building strength, increasing flexibility, and maintaining your balance.

Therapists work with patients to create a treatment plan that can help patients experience less pain, move more freely, and restore proper function. In addition, they provide evaluation reports and periodic progress reports to the patient’s physician for continuity of care.
