Jacobson Memorial Hospital Care Center
A consultant physical therapist comes three days a week and works with a physical therapy aide. Physical therapy includes ultrasound, light, water (hydrotherapy), heat generated in the tissues by electricity (diathermy), and exercises to improve and restore impaired muscle strength and flexibility. The Physical Therapist will assist the patient to as near possible a normal state following strokes, amputations, trauma, surgery, or other rehabilitation difficulty.
