Rehabilitation Therapy by Leading Experts

Our team at Weill Cornell Medicine collaborates closely with therapists at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and private therapy offices to provide the most advanced and comprehensive rehabilitation options available, including:

●      Physical therapy: Physical therapy (PT) can help improve your blood flow, help with flexibility, reduce swelling, increase relaxation or manage your pain levels. Your physical therapist will guide you through specific stretches and exercises that are meant to help you move and feel better. Your joints and muscles may be moved through various stretches by the therapist to increase your range of motion and flexibility. They may also use other techniques such as electrical stimulation and ultrasound.

●      Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy (OT) helps you relearn the skills of daily living, such as taking care of yourself, getting dressed, writing and improving balance and coordination. Your occupational therapist will address the physical, cognitive and emotional challenges brought on by your illness or injury. They will work with you to find ways to help you engage in the things you want and need to do.

●      Speech and language therapy: Speech and language pathologists treat speech, language, social communication, memory, thinking and learning issues, as well as swallowing disorders. Using the most innovative diagnostic and communication technologies available, your therapist will develop a treatment plan for coping with speech and language barriers.
