Occupational Therapy
By focusing on helping you become as independent as possible, the occupational therapist can help your motor, sensory and cognitive skills.

Some of those who benefit from occupational therapy have illnesses or injuries such as:
Stroke or other neurological disorders
Brain or spinal cord injuries
Orthopedic conditions
Lymphedema

Arthritis
Pulmonary disease
Speech-Language Pathology
Speech pathologists can assist you with speech, language and oral function difficulties and cognitive problems. Speech development, aphasia and fluency therapy, voice diagnostics and articulation therapy, and other approaches may help those who have speech or language disorders due to:
Brain injury
Post-surgical conditions
Stroke
Voice disorders
Aquatic Therapy
At our three Centers for Health and Wellness, aquatic therapy is an additional physical therapy service that promotes functional development, balance, and coordination. Those with orthopedic, spine or balance conditions particularly benefit from warm water therapy, available with a physician's order.
Workplace Rehabilitation
You can return to your job after injury with the help of our workplace rehabilitation program. Physical rehabilitation and mental preparation help works meet the challenge of safely re-entering the workforce. Our trained staff members develop individual programs that improve body mechanics, increase strength and flexibility and improve your functional capacity to return to your job safely and with confidence.
Sports Medicine
Our physical therapists and athletic trainers help you recover from sports and recreational injuries. We understand that returning you quickly and safely to your lifestyle is what's important to you. We offer expertise in expanding movement, relieving pain and improving function. Our athletic trainers also serve serveral local high schools. Working under the direction of team physicians, we evaluate injuries, provide first aid and develop exercise programs to help reduce injuries and the risk of re-injury.
Driver Education and Training
The Driver Evaluation and Training Program provides an objective, comprehensive assessment of a person's ability to drive safely. Occupational therapists who are state-certified driving instructors and are handicapped-endorsed, perform a number of tests to assess functional range of motion, strength, coordination, vision, reaction time, problem-solving ability, safety, decision-making and memory. The therapists also conduct testing with a simulator, an off-road course and an on-the-road course. To participate, you must have a current Ohio driver's license and a doctor's prescription.
Lymphedema
Designed to maintain swelling reduction, ease day-to-day discomfort and improve your quality of life, therapy may include manual lymphedema treatment, medical compression, exercise and the use of a pneumatic pump.
