Physical Therapy At Centra Rehabilitation our physical therapists have extensive clinical expertise and use the most advanced, research-based physical rehabilitation techniques. We also use a simple, yet essential tool for success: communication. We believe good communication is critical to recovery. Our therapists not only get to know each patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, injury and specific goals, they also educate them about the details of their injury, treatment and prescribed therapy. The result is our patients have a more in-depth understanding of what to expect. Our staffing ratios are set for patient care, so our therapists have active involvement with every patient throughout their entire rehabilitation process.
