Do you struggle with constant joint or muscle pain from overuse, an injury, or an ongoing condition such as arthritis? Maybe you are getting ready to train for your first 5K or are preparing for a marathon or ski season. Perhaps you suffered a stroke or have a neurological condition that affects your ability to move and function.
If you have a need to improve body function – from prevention to repair to conditioning to increased mobility – then call Northern Arizona Healthcare’s Entire Care Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Experts.
EntireCare offers comprehensive, extensive rehabilitation and injury prevention services, including physical, occupational, speech, hand and language therapy; sports and conditioning therapy; massage therapy; neurological rehabilitation; and wound care. Our therapists and specialists are experts when it comes to rehabilitation following injuries or surgeries. They specialize in therapies that allow patients to live the highest quality of life possible. However, these “body specialists” do more than rehabilitation. They work to identify barriers to movement, exercise and everyday activities and tasks. Often, people aren’t even aware they have limited body function until they begin a new exercise regime or start a playing a sport. Other times, these obstacles are the result of an injury or illness.
Creating a treatment plan is a team effort between patient and therapist to develop a comprehensive, safe, effective program to meet short-term and long-term goals.
EntireCare Experts
It takes years of training and hands-on experience to provide comprehensive and individualized treatment plans and therapies. Fortunately, EntireCare’s therapists and specialists all have the advanced training and expertise to provide extensive therapy to their patients. In addition to a bachelor’s degree, many of our therapists also have advanced training and experience – from master’s degrees to doctorates – and additional certifications in one or more areas of expertise.
Each specific type of therapy is considered a specialty, and plays an important role in the rehabilitation process. The EntireCare team functions as a cohesive unit where all members share information and knowledge. The ultimate goal is the patient’s improvement and return to the highest possible functioning level.
Choosing EntireCare means patients also have access to a myriad of additional services such as state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technology and equipment.
Those who have recently received care at Flagstaff Medical Center or Verde Valley Medical Center, can easily transition their rehabilitation program to one of EntireCare’s six outpatient clinics. For those patients receiving care at FMC’s Therapy Services, nothing has changed except the name.
