Understanding how to recover from your injury or after surgery helps improve your overall health. Our rehabilitation care team at Ascension Illinois - Rehabilitation Joliet 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.
