Physical Therapy is responsible for the restoration of function after a person suffers from an injury or has undergone a surgical procedure. Treatments include the use of specialized equipment, customized exercise programs or patient oriented education. Typically, recovery time is faster and more successful when a physical therapy routine is followed.

Upon diagnosis, your physician may refer you to the Shawnee Medical Center Clinic's physical therapy department. The physical therapy department offers a wide variety of services and state-of-the-art equipment to those recovering from tears, pulls, dislocations or other injuries.

Our therapists design each program with the patient’s needs, to help restore strength and mobility following injury or surgery. Our facility offers the benefit of Aquatic Therapy provided by a Certified Aquatic Therapist, with the only on-site heated therapeutic pool in the area. We also have several new modalities that help with inflammatory conditions, including Hivamat (Deep Tissue Oscillation) and low-level laser therapy.

Our staff stays up to date on all the latest dressings and techniques for wound care, including measuring and fitting compression stocking for patients. In addition, we do custom molding for orthotics.

We currently have three licensed Physical Therapist and a Physical Therapist Assistant on staff.
