Physiatry at Saint Mary's One of the keys to successful treatment of most neurological
conditions is a well-rounded program of physiatry services.
Physiatry is a broad category encompassing physical therapy,
occupational therapy and speech therapy.
Patients at Saint Mary’s can find help every step
of the way through trained therapists who are trained in the
latest rehabilitation techniques.
Rehabilitation specialists are an integral part of the neuroscience
team. Physicians consult therapists as part of their overall
assessment and treatment of patients, and as they design a
program of on-going therapy. In some cases, therapists are
needed for a limited time-frame, such as the weeks and months
after a procedure. In other cases, rehabilitation is needed
indefinitely.
The goal of physiatry is simple: to optimize the quality
of life of individuals with impairments caused by neurological
disorders.
Physiatry services are conveniently located on the Saint
Mary’s campus.
