 Our physical therapists help you to reach your maximum functional potential within the limits of your disability. After an initial assessment of your abilities, we will establish a treatment plan consisting of individual and group exercise programs, the use of hands-on or mechanical therapies (to relieve pain and increase strength, balance or movement) and functional training in goal-oriented tasks.
We will also educate you about your illness or injury and invite your care partners to participate in your treatment program as appropriate. Depending on your particular condition, you may learn how to move independently in bed, practice skills to regain your ability to walk and climb stairs or use a wheelchair to aid in your mobility. We may also evaluate your home or make equipment recommendations to assist you in achieving your goals and regaining your independence.
For more information about physical therapy, please contact Carol Marquez , Physical Therapy Supervisor, by e-mail at ctomkiewicz@svcmcny.org. If you wish, you may leave a message with your contact information at 212-604-8666.
