Specialized Treatment Programs

Our entire rehabilitation team works together to design individualized treatment programs to help patients of all ages achieve their personal objectives. After a physical or occupational therapist or speech-language pathologist conducts a comprehensive evaluation, a treatment program is carefully customized to meet each person’s specific needs.

Throughout rehabilitation, our team also collaborates with referring physicians and family members so that patients can get back to an active and productive lifestyle as quickly and safely as possible. Some of our specialized programs include:

Acute injury rehabilitation: For acute or sudden traumatic injury, acute injury rehabilitation can help aid recovery if you’ve sustained an injury such as fracture, dislocation, tearing a muscle, or severe strains or sprains.

Back rehabilitation: Including a thorough musculoskeletal and neurological assessment, our back rehabilitation specialists provide an individualized treatment program to reduce discomfort and promote healing.

Concussion rehabilitation: With an evidenced-based approach to concussion rehabilitation, our team at Munson Healthcare uses a five-stage approach called CRANIUM for athletes and athletic trainers to ensure complete healing prior to returning to sports.

Lymphedema rehabilitation: With certified lymphedema therapists, our team provides a range of treatments, including customized exercise programs, to improve function and decrease the risk of complications.

McKenzie Method® for chronic pain management: An evidence-based approach to chronic pain management, Munson Healthcare uses this specialized approach to customize an individualized treatment plan for improved outcomes.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation: Using the principles of physical therapy to improve the strength and function of pelvic floor muscles, these rehabilitation techniques can help with urinary incontinence overactive bladder and pelvic floor prolapse.

Specialized Parkinson’s disease care: Based on research that the brain can learn and change with repeated voice and movement therapy, we provide specialized Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation using Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) methods.

Vestibular rehabilitation: For inner ear or balance disorders, vestibular rehabilitation can help improve symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo or imbalance through an exercise-based program that focuses on problem-solving and sensory compensation.

Vital Step Fitness Program: This unique gym experience is specially designed for people who have recently gone through rehabilitation and are interested in a closely monitored fitness program that puts your individual needs and safety first.

Wound care: Physical therapy components of wound care can increase strength and mobility to enhance tissue healing during the critical stages of wound recovery.
