Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address orthopedic, neurological, and biomechanical conditions for patients of all ages. Using evidence-based techniques, we develop personalized treatment plans to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life. With experienced therapists and advanced equipment, we help patients recover from injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions across our 8 locations.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy utilizes warm-water pools to provide low-impact rehabilitation for post-surgical patients, athletes, and seniors. The buoyancy reduces joint stress while hydrostatic pressure decreases swelling. Our facilities in Kittanning and Vandergrift feature resistance jets and underwater treadmills, enabling customized programs for improved strength, flexibility, and recovery from conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia.
Hand Therapy
Certified hand therapists specialize in treating upper extremity conditions through individualized rehabilitation. Services include custom splinting, scar management, and post-operative care for fractures, tendon injuries, and arthritis. With locations in Leechburg, Kittanning, and Sarver, we restore hand function using advanced techniques like sensory re-education and ultrasound therapy.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on adapting tasks to improve patients' ability to perform daily activities. Our therapists address post-surgical recovery, neurological conditions, and developmental needs through customized interventions. Services include splint fabrication, ergonomic assessments, and sensory integration programs delivered across multiple locations in the Alle-Kiski Valley.
School-Based Therapy
We provide occupational and physical therapy to students through contracts with five local school districts. Our team delivers evidence-based interventions like Learning Without Tears and Size Matters Handwriting programs, along with sensory room development and classroom management strategies to support educational success for children with diverse needs.
