Understanding how to recover from your injury or after surgery helps improve your overall health. Our rehabilitation care team is here to help. We offer outpatient physical therapy appointments, with flexible hours around your work or school schedule. In Illinois, a doctor's referral is required if you are seeking physical therapy (PT) for injury prevention or fitness. A physical therapy evaluation is done before therapy appointments may begin.
Physical therapy
Your doctor may prescribe physical therapy as part of your treatment plan. At Ascension Saint Mary, our physical therapists listen to understand you and your health concerns.
