Physical Therapy

Expert Physical Therapy Tailored to Your Recovery Needs

At MJHS, you can receive physical therapy in the setting that works best for you—either at home through MJHS Home Care or in one of our inpatient rehab and skilled nursing centers – MJHS Menorah or Isabella Centers.

Our goal is to provide expert, compassionate care tailored to your unique needs and individual recovery goals.

Whether recovering from a joint replacement, managing mobility challenges, or learning to adapt to prosthetics, physical therapy is vital to helping you regain independence and confidence.

What Is Physical Therapy and How Can It Help?

Physical therapy focuses on helping to improve strength, mobility and quality of life through targeted exercises, therapeutic techniques, and education. It can play a pivotal role in your recovery program after joint replacement, injury, surgery or prolonged illness helping you with:  

• Fall Prevention: Improving balance and strength helps to reduce the risk of falls
• Chronic Pain Relief: Improving strength and range of motion can help manage pain caused by a chronic illness. 
• Adjusting to Prosthetics: By increasing strength and providing education and advanced fittings, physical therapy can help patients who have experienced an amputation adapt more effectively to their new prosthetics.

Physical Therapy: What You Can Expect

Our experienced team of licensed physical therapists will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan of care. Whether at home or in one of our two inpatient rehab and skilled nursing centers, you’ll benefit from expert guidance and support every step of the way. 

Our Physical Therapists Can Help With: 

• Joint Replacement Support: Our physical therapists focus on improving the new joint’s overall strength, range of motion, and functionality. We’ll guide you through exercises and techniques to optimize recovery and help you regain independence.
• Adapting to Prosthetics: If you’re learning to use a prosthetic device, our team will provide specialized training to ensure comfort and functionality, helping you to adjust and support your quality of life.
• Strength, Mobility, and Flexibility: Through evidence-based therapy, we’ll help you increase strength, improve flexibility, and enhance mobility, empowering you to achieve your recovery goals.
• Exercise Programs to Promote Progress: You’ll receive a customized exercise plan to follow in between therapy sessions. These exercises will enhance your progress and help you achieve the best possible outcomes.
• Home and Safety Adaptations: If you receive care at home, our physical therapists can recommend ways to make your home environment safer and more accessible. This includes tips on placing furniture and rugs to avoid slips and falls and education about how best to navigate with assistive devices like walkers, canes, or wheelchairs if needed temporarily or long-term.
• Personalized Care Timeline: Your anticipated therapy timeline will depend on your condition, recovery goals and physician-approved care plan.
