Rehabilitative Care – Getting Back to Full Strength

Edgerton Hospital and Health Services provides a variety of therapy services to patients recovering from debilitating illnesses, conditions, or procedures, including strokes, surgeries, and accidents. These and other unpredictable occurrences may affect a patient’s ability to move freely or use his or her muscles to their full capacity. However, physical, speech, and occupational therapy can be used to remedy or reduce the impact of musculoskeletal and neurological damage, as well as related health issues. Facial retraining therapies may ameliorate facial paralysis, while physical therapy is useful in rehabilitating sports and spinal injuries.

On Saturday, September 19th, the Edgerton Hospital Rehab department is hosting a “Race Day Pit Stop” in the rehab gym. The event takes place directly after the Victory Fun Run Walk, which starts at 8:30am. Guests are invited to the rehab gym to meet the therapy staff, learn proper stretching, enjoy snacks and enter to win a FitBit.

Established in 1920, Edgerton Hospital provides both in- and outpatient rehabilitative care. The rehabilitation program begins with the formation of a personal treatment plan based on individual requirements and treatments, as well as a patient’s existing level of fitness. The hospital provides education and guidance to patients and families, and rehabilitates patients through exercise and other treatments. Appointments are available Monday through Saturday, with extensive hours to accommodate a range of schedules.
