Our Patient Care Program
Each patient will receive a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed physical therapist, occupational therapist, and/or speech-language pathologist. Based on the evaluation, the therapist will determine the appropriate, individually-tailored program and provide extensive patient education. Each therapist works with the patient to create an understanding of their condition and the recognition that the best treatment plan rarely stops with the final clinical visit.
EVALUATION
On the first visit, patients will receive a comprehensive evaluation that will likely take 30-60 minutes and will identify any limitations and impairments that may be affecting overall function.
ESTABLISH GOALS
Together with the therapist, goals will be determined specific to each patient to:
-
Restore maximum function
-
Increase the speed of recovery
-
Prevent re-occurrence
-
Promote long-term health and wellness
TREATMENT
A specific treatment plan will consist of one-on-one patient-to-therapist interaction with approximately 1-hour sessions. Private patient rooms, along with a large gym area, will provide patients with respect and comfort during treatments. Treatments may consist of, but are not limited to, therapeutic exercises and/or activities, manual techniques, modalities, and home instruction.
EDUCATION & WELLNESS
An important component of treatment plans includes teaching patients how to take care of themselves and to prevent future injury. The patient is an equal part of the team and should participate in the treatment given. Wellness is the key to a future that is pain-free, giving one the freedom of movement to live your life to its fullest.

More Information
Physical Therapy
Broadly, physical therapy involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of “movement dysfunctions.” A PT will examine patients and develop treatment plans that promote mobility, pain reduction, restoration, and prevention.
Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy is so much more than just “talking.” Speech Therapy is an extensive field that can benefit all ages, from birth to adult. Speech Therapy addresses cognition (memory, orientation, sequencing, executive functioning, medication management), speech-language disorders (adult and children), voice disorders, and swallowing difficulties.
Women’s Health Physical Therapy
Women’s health physical therapy encompasses a variety of health care issues specific to women and the reproductive system. Morris County Hospital Rehab Center Women’s Health program focuses treatment on the specific needs of women in order to help them regain their well-being and active lives.
Vital Stim Therapy
Vital Stim Therapy is used in conjunction with traditional oral motor exercises in order to strengthen swallowing muscles and improve overall swallow function. Often times, patients regain their swallowing ability faster and more thoroughly than with traditional dysphagia techniques.
