WestCare Physical Therapy focuses on improvement of strength, endurance, flexibility, motor control and stability to support the return to normal functional activities. The Physical Therapy Program at WestCare includes patient education about the mechanism of injury, the recovery process and prevention of re-injury. In the acute program, symptom relief is achieved through medical management or passive modalities with progression toward an active and aggressive treatment plan. As treatment progresses, patients are weaned from supportive therapies and moved toward greater independence.

Physical Therapy includes services for:

  • Acute care
  • Transitional care
  • Home health
  • Outpatient care
  • Sports medicine
  • Women's health
  • Area school systems

 

An Order for an Evaluation from your family physician is the first step in receiving treatment.

WestCare Physical Therapy is available at Harris Regional Hospital, Swain County Hospital and WestCare Medical Park of Franklin.
