We are proud to offer you a full range of outpatient physical rehabilitation services, including speech therapy and occupational therapy.
Occupational therapy
Our team of occupational therapists (OTs) often collaborate with physical therapists (PTs), using specialized tools and techniques, such as assistive technology, adaptive equipment, upper extremity splinting and serial casting. We use these techniques to help with motor skills, prevent muscle weakening and manage pain. Occupational therapy helps you improve:

- Handwriting
- Learning disabilities
- Motor coordination
- Reflex integration
- Sensory regulation
- Upper extremity joint range of motion and strengthening
- Visual motor skills
- Visual perceptual skills
Physical therapy
Our PTs support your recovery by guiding you through exercises and stretches designed to enhance strength, flexibility and mobility. Depending on your specific needs, therapy may start during your hospital stay and continue afterward on an outpatient basis.
Speech therapy
Speech, language and swallowing disorders can impact daily life and may result from conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury or certain types of cancer. Our team offers compassionate therapy to support your recovery and improve communication and swallowing function.

Scheduling your appointment
There are several assessments and treatment plans that a Speech-Language Pathologist can use according to the deficits experienced by each individual.
To schedule a speech therapy appointment, visit your primary care physician and ask for an order for a speech-language pathologist to evaluate and treat as necessary. You can then call (912) 277-2033, extension 2, and speak with the secretary to schedule an appointment most convenient for you or your loved one. The same steps should be followed to schedule physical therapy appointments as well.
