Rehab

At John Knox Manor, our on-site rehabilitation staff is committed to helping patients follow a fast but sensible path to their full physical potential. Our innovative and diversified programs are aimed at helping our patients achieve the maximum rehabilitation and independence possible.

While we serve residents during long-term illness, many of our residents are experiencing short-term incapacities and quite often return to independent living after participating in our physical, speech and occupational therapy programs.

The Physical Therapy (PT) Service evaluates therapy needs such as strengthening, range of motion exercises, balance activities, gait training, assessment for assistive devices, and pain management techniques for a variety of diagnoses.

The Occupational Therapy (OT) Service evaluates and provides training in activities of daily living (ADL) such as feeding, dressing, and bathing for individuals with physical, or developmental disabilities.

The Speech Therapy (ST) Service evaluates therapy needs regarding post stroke speech therapy, swallowing difficulties, eating difficulties and a variety of techniques to improve nutrition in residents with health problems.
