REHABILITATION SERVICES

Lakewood Health System’s rehabilitation team specializes in body mechanics, wellness, excercises, healing and pain relief... all in an effort to maintain and improve your mobility and independence.

Whether you are recovering from an injury, suffering from a particular disability or have simply found that basic activities are becoming too diffi cult or painful-rehabilitative care may be exactly what you need.

AFFORDING YOUR CARE

Since a rehabilitation program is prescribed through your primary physician, it is reimbursed by Medicare and most commercial insurance providers.

A FREE INITIAL ASSESSMENT will be provided to determine whether you could benefi t from a rehabilitation program. If your assessment shows a need and your physician agrees, a therapy program will be created.

Don’t forget: Transportation to and from therapy at Lakewood Health System is free of charge for tenants of Lakewood Pines and Manor. For a nominal fee, we will also provide transportation to/from other locations in the Staples area. When you call to schedule your therapy appointment, just let us know that you require transportation and we’ll take care of the rest.

TYPES OF ACTIVITIES TO EXPECT

• Pain relief strategies.
• Relaxation.
• Balance & coordination.
• Walking techniques.
• Stress relief.
• Strength & fl exibility training.
• Posture correction.
• Endurance exercises.

Additionally, your visits to therapy will focus on education, safety awareness and keeping you on track with both the development and implementation of a customized home exercise program.

IT’S A JOURNEY, NOT A RACE

Everyone has other priorities in their day and life. Exercise and therapy can sometimes seem an imposition. Although everyone is different, in most cases, your therapist will have an idea as to your personal healing within two weeks of your starting therapy. Your overall success will be greatly impacted by your dedication to the program.
