Physical Therapy

Physical therapy aims to restore physical abilities and motor skills through a specialized program of training and exercise geared to the individual’s level of disability and capabilities.

Our specialized equipment can be adapted to the needs of the wide variety of disorders and levels of capability amongst our patients. We aim to provide each individual with the abilities he or she needs to be able to return and be mobile at home.

Each patient is evaluated upon admission, and is provided with the physical therapy that best meets his or her needs. One-on-onetherapy is provided in our state-of-the-art rehabilitation suite overlooking Flushing Bay. Our skilled, friendly therapists have many years’ experience, and focus on providing individual care and attention, in a pleasant, respectful atmosphere.

All types of modalities are enlisted to relieve pain and strengthen muscles, including hot packs, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound. Our technologically advanced equipment includes a portable ultrasound unit, as well as a BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) unit.

We provide gait training, both indoors and outside, helping the patient relearn walking after a stroke or a long hospital stay. We have all the necessary equipment to help reach this goal, including rolling and standing walkers, canes, crutches, and low-strength crutches. Outdoors, we teach patients to walk up and down inclines, get on and off sidewalks, and go up and down stairs.

We also use Therex (Therapeutic Exercise) to help achieve and maintain fitness, based on each individual’s needs and abilities. We have new, state-of-the-art step machines, weights, and other devices, providing exercise to patients with a wide range of disabilities. Our whirlpool increases stimulation and keeps joints flexible.

Occupational Therapy

Through Occupational Therapy, we help our patients achieve their optimal level of independence so that they can perform the regular functions of every-day living. Our goal is to provide each individual with the skills necessary to continue performing the every-day meaningful activities that are integral to home life, including dressing, bathing, showering, cooking, eating, etc.

Each patient is evaluated upon admission, and is provided with the occupational therapy that best meets his or her needs. Each receives individualized, one-on-one therapy in our state-of-the-art rehabilitation suite that overlooks Flushing Bay. Our skilled, friendly therapists have many years’ experience, and focus on providing patients with care and attention, in a pleasant, respectful atmosphere.

All types of modalities are enlisted to relieve pain and to strengthen endurance and muscle elasticity, including deep-heat ultrasound, hot packs, and massage. Our new, state-of-the-art equipment uses all recent technological advancements to advantage.

The suite contains a fully-equipped kitchen, used to train patients to function on their own when they get home.
