Physical Therapy
Physical therapy can help patients minimize pain through exercises designed to restore strength, improve balance and increase endurance. By addressing specific conditions related to diseases or the effects of total joint replacements, physical therapy activities will focus on restoring mobility and independence. The physical therapists at South Texas Health System’s outpatient locations are skilled in treating a variety of musculoskeletal, orthopedic and neurological injuries or disorders.

Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists help restore and enhance each patient’s living skills. Patients are trained to resume their daily routines, including toileting, grooming, bathing, dressing, cooking and working. Each patient is individually evaluated to help determine goals and a customized intervention is then developed to improve the patient’s ability to perform daily activities and reach their goals. They also measure outcomes to help ensure goals are being met or to make changes to the intervention plan.

Speech Therapy
Speech therapists evaluate each patient for any speech, language, swallowing, voice, cognitive communication, fluency or other related disorders that can result from disease or disability. They help improve the quality of speech production, speech comprehension, written and verbal communication and swallowing to provide an improved quality of life at home, work and in the community.
