Physical therapy and rehabilitation

Executing daily tasks that used to seem routine may require attention to skills and muscles you've never had to focus on before. Our therapists can help because they are experienced in:

• Hand therapy
• Neurological rehabilitation
• Occupational therapy
• Orthopedic therapy
• Physical therapy
• Pulmonary rehabilitation
• Speech and swallowing therapy
• Sports rehabilitation
• Vestibular therapy

Neurological rehabilitation

Our neurological rehabilitation program helps you recover from traumatic brain injuries, spine injuries, strokes and neurological disorders and diseases. Our neurorehabilitation specialists help you retrain your brain and your muscles to work together with the goal of maximizing your independence and restoring function.

Pulmonary rehabilitation

We provide pulmonary rehabilitation for acute and chronic lung conditions. Our team of respiratory specialists work with you to create a personalized care plan for your long-term health. We offer a wide range of therapies to help restore normal breathing patterns and improve your quality of life.

Sports rehabilitation

As part of our sports medicine program, we implement physical therapy to restore strength, movement and endurance. We may use this as a first line of treatment after an injury or following surgery. Our multidisciplinary team uses a customized treatment plan to help you manage pain and prevent further damage or reinjury.

The Inpatient Rehabilitation Center at our hospital is Richmond's premier location for inpatient rehabilitation. Our 36-bed unit is located on the fourth floor of the main hospital and includes 25 private rooms and six semiprivate rooms.

Each room in the unit has a walk-in shower, grab bars and adaptive equipment for toileting and grooming. This includes sinks and toilets that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
