When you're ready to get better -
Your choice is clear
When your medical condition requires the involvement of a skilled expert
to guide you on the path to recovery, your choice is clear. Whether it be a
stroke, sports injury, joint replacement, diminished function or acute pain caused
by repetitive stress, or if you need professional advice in overcoming some
unpleasant complications which can accompany pregnancy and/or postpartum, or
if you just want to sharpen that performance edge, to excel at your chosen
sport, Penn-Ohio Rehabilitation has the staff, the facilities and the expertise to
deliver what you need.
Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy is the treatment of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular problems
that affect one's abilities to move and function as well as they can in their daily
lives. Physical Therapy includes alleviating impairment and functional limitation
by designing, implementing, and modifying therapeutic interventions. It also
includes preventing injury, impairment, functional limitation and disability,
including the promotion and maintenance of fitness, health, and quality of life
in people of all ages. Physical Therapy also provides services to athletes at
all levels by screening for potential problems and instituting preventive exercise
programs.
Because Physical Therapists are required to understand a vast array of problems
that can affect movement, function, and health, all current physical therapist
education programs graduate students at a master's degree level, with many schools
offering a clinical doctorate in physical therapy. After passing a board exam, a
Physical Therapist is licensed in the state in which they practice.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy is an applied science and health profession that provides
skilled treatment to help individuals develop, regain or maintain the skills
necessary to participate in all facets of their lives. OT helps restore the
highest possible level of independence to individuals who are limited by a
physical injury or illness, a dysfunctional condition, a cognitive impairment,
a psychosocial dysfunction, a mental illness, a developmental or environmental
condition. OT gives people the "skills for the job of living" necessary for
leading meaningful and satisfying lives.
Occupational Therapists possess a Bachelor of Science degree in occupational
therapy, but most recently all programs have changed to a Master's or Doctoral
degree. Graduates must pass a national exam and possess a license within their
state.
Direct Access
Direct Access is your opportunity to be evaluated by a licensed physical
therapist without requiring you to first be seen by your physician and
obtaining a prescription. This program was first approved in Pennsylvania
in 2002, and all of the physical therapists employed by Penn-Ohio
Rehabilitation have their PA Direct Access license.
