Physical Therapy:
Our Physical Therapy Department consists of a dynamic staff of Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants who are active participants in a large multidisciplinary team.
In our acute care setting they provide an array of services designed to restore, improve or maintain the patient's optimal level of function, self-care, self-responsibility, independence and quality of life.
The primary purpose of the Physical Therapy Department is to provide services that will shorten hospital stay, convalescence and improve functional capacity for patients in need.
The physical therapists play a vital role in the care of the post-surgical cardiothoracic patients, neurosurgical and post-surgical orthopedic patients, post-surgical gastric-bypass patients, cardiac patients, arthritic patients, wound-care patients, pulmonary patients, ICU and CCU patients and general medical patients.
Our physical therapists develop goals and a comprehensive treatment plan upon a patient’s initial evaluation. The frequency and duration of the treatment is determined by a patient’s level of function and progression in his or her program.
Our department also includes outpatient services with numerous subspecialties. Outpatient therapists apply state of the art techniques for the management of complex orthopedic, musculoskeletal neuromuscular conditions and wound care. In addition, the department maintains a complete comprehensive program in the treatment of stroke victims.
A prescription from your physician is required for the initial visit. The initial evaluation includes a complete medical history and assessment of your current condition.
Our Speech Therapy Department of St. Francis Medical Center provides quality care to inpatients and outpatients who have speech, language or swallowing disorders. Diagnosis and treatment is provided for disorders of speech, language, swallowing, voice and stuttering. Video fluoroscopic swallowing studies provide valuable information for assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders.
Treatment is provided by speech language pathologists who are N.J. licensed and ASHA certified.
