Patient education is the process by which our therapists impart information to you and your family/caregivers that will alter your health behaviors and/or improve your health status.

 

Our therapists are focused on both skill building and responsibility: patients need to know when, how, and why they need to make a lifestyle change.  Our patients typically receive education concerning their diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan.  They are also educated on a proper home exercise program focused on safely returning them to their prior level of activity.  When appropriate ergonomics and lifting techniques are included in the training and educational aspect of a patient’s therapy program.
