Personalized Programs to Get You Back to Your Life

Rehabilitation specialties at Kentucky River Medical Center:

• Physical Therapy: We provide comprehensive exercise and strength and conditioning therapies for severe arthritis, orthopedic trauma as well as other bone and joint injuries. From your initial assessment to your last session, your therapist is here to help you get back on your feet—and to your life.
• Occupational Therapy: The therapists at Kentucky River Medical Center can help you regain the ability to perform daily tasks and improve quality of life following an illness or injury. We simulate work and home-living situations for activities such as bathing, grooming, meal planning and housekeeping. Along the way, your therapist will provide progress assessments and make any adjustments to maximize your success.
• Speech Therapy: Kentucky River Medical Center’s therapist may be able to help you with speech, language, and swallowing. The therapist can assist children and adults who may have certain speech disorders. Some people with medical conditions that cause speech or swallowing impairment may also benefit from speech therapy. These medical conditions include traumatic brain injury, stroke, or dementia.
