Physical therapy helps improve your recovery after illness, injury or surgery

• Muscle strain and trigger point release
• Orthopedic rehabilitation
• Pelvic floor therapy

Neurorehabilitation care for stroke recovery and Parkinson’s

Physical therapy care teams at Ascension sites of care deliver advanced rehabilitation services to support your recovery after a stroke. For neurological conditions, some of our therapists are also trained in LSVT BIG, a treatment that can help those with Parkinson’s use their body more normally. Talk to your doctor about how physical therapy may support your brain and spine care plan.

Physical therapy available in different settings

At Ascension sites of care, we provide physical therapy in the hospital, at outpatient PT clinics, occupational health clinics, as part of home health care, and at stand-alone inpatient rehabilitation facilities.

Multispecialty rehabilitation services

Physical therapy is one type of rehabilitation service. Along the way, your care may require other rehabilitation services – pediatric therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology or other specialists – you do not have to navigate your care alone. Your care team will help you schedule appointments, connect with other services, and answer your questions. From your first therapy appointment and throughout your ongoing care, your doctor will stay informed about your progress. 

In some states, you may not need a physician order to start physical therapy.  If you would like to start physical therapy but are not sure if you need a physician order, please contact a rehabilitation - physical therapy location at an Ascension site of care near you to discuss whether a physician order is needed.
