Do you struggle with constant joint or muscle pain from an injury, overuse or an ongoing condition such as arthritis? You may have a sports injury that continues to nag you. Maybe you are getting ready to train for your first 5K or 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 you should consider Northern Arizona Healthcare’s Entire Care Rehab & Sports Medicine.
EntireCare offers comprehensive and extensive rehabilitation and injury prevention services, including physical, occupational, speech and language therapy, massage therapy, neurological rehabilitation, wound, hand and sports conditioning.
EntireCare’s therapists and specialists are experts when it comes to rehabilitation following injuries or surgeries. They specialize in therapies that enable 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 the patient and the therapist to develop a comprehensive, safe, effective program to meet short-term and long-term goals. FBN
