CHRISTUS Outpatient Therapy

The goal of therapy for inpatients and outpatients is maximum recovery as quickly as possible. With preoperative education classes, taught by our Joint Replacement Center Program Director, our patients are well-prepared for their inpatient and outpatient therapy.

Patients with neurological deficits, such as those caused by stroke or brain injury, begin rehabilitation while still hospitalized and often continue as outpatients to reach their maximum recovery.

The physical therapy and rehabilitation team offers advanced treatment for many acute and chronic orthopedic conditions of the extremities and spine for all ages. Recognizing the importance of injury prevention, the team also provides athletes with programs designed to minimize risk of injury and optimize performance. Other certificates, skills and services our physical therapists provide include: certified functional movement assessments, dry needling, cupping, spinal and peripheral joint mobilization, and are physicians of physical therapy, McKenzie-trained, as well as certified athletic trainers.

The outpatient physical therapy facility offers heated indoor pool therapy, with individualized exercise programs tailored to infants and beyond. Resisted exercise in a supported environment helps patients with low exercise tolerance due to weakness, pain or other medical conditions. Pool therapy is also effective in helping those with decreased balance to gain strength and endurance.
