Outpatient Rehabilitation Services

Outpatient Rehabilitation includes interdisciplinary care between Physical, Occupational and Speech therapists for orthopedic, congenital and neurological conditions for all ages.

What is orthopedic physical therapy
Whether you’re recovering from joint replacement surgery or a back injury, or you’re managing a painful condition like arthritis, you may benefit from Beacon’s physical therapy program. We offer inpatient and outpatient physical therapy services to children and adults who have trouble moving around and getting things done. We can help you return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.

What is occupational therapy?
Following an illness or injury, getting back into the swing of things can takes some effort. The same goes for individuals with a disability or chronic pain. Occupational therapy gets you moving with assistive devices, tools and exercises.

What is speech therapy?
For individuals struggling with swallowing or communicating, our licensed speech-language therapists can help work toward gaining/regaining abilities.

What is recreational therapy?
Recreational therapy can be thought of as the development of skills you need for everyday life. You might work with therapies that get you back to sports, gardening, handling animals or creating music or art.
