Northwest Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation Services
The Outpatient Rehabilitation Services department at Northwest Hospital is
dedicated to helping patients regain the maximum level of self-sufficiency and return to their
active lives as quickly as possible. Physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech
pathologists provide individualized care for each patient. Recovery after illness is facilitated
by specially designed programs that build strength, flexibility and endurance.
The Outpatient Rehabilitation team assists patients in reducing pain,
promoting healing, improving communication skills and progressing functional abilities. Patients
are educated about correct body posture, body mechanics, range of motion, strengthening
exercises and other techniques that will help them to function at the highest possible level.
