Physical Rehab

The Inpatient and Outpatient Rehabilitation Department at Parkland is dedicated to helping patients recover from life-changing illnesses or injuries through physical, occupational and speech therapy services. Our therapists provide services for a wide range of conditions with the latest evidence-based treatment interventions. Many hold national board or specialty certifications to treat certain patient populations. 

Services include


Acute Rehabilitation Program

A large therapy staff is spread throughout the hospital system to provide treatment to any patient in need. Service areas include, but are not limited to, neurology, neurosurgery, trauma, specialty surgical services, burns, oncology and general medicine areas.  The therapy staff will even evaluate patients in the emergency department to reduce wait times. 

Adult Intensive Care Units: The therapy team starts helping patients as early as their Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay. Parkland’s nationally recognized early mobility program helps patients start to talk, walk and perform self -care activities to preserve function during acute illness while in the ICU. 

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Parkland's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) has a dedicated team of specialized physical, occupational and speech therapists to help our tiniest patients meet developmental milestones and safely swallow to get home faster.

Inpatient Psychiatric Care: Occupational therapists play an important role in improving social/ behavioral skills and self-care skills during one-on-one treatment or within a group therapy setting.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Program

Our acute inpatient rehabilitation floor is an 18-bed unit where patients receive intensive treatment to improve their function prior to discharging home from the hospital. Our experts include doctors, nurses, therapists, dietitians, social workers and others, who work together for optimal patient outcomes.

Patients are evaluated by the physical, occupational and speech therapists to develop a personalized treatment plan to help restore independence, gain strength and improve safety. 

Outpatient Rehabilitation Program

Our Outpatient Rehabilitation department offers specialized treatment plans to help patients achieve maximum gains to return to everyday function. Many of the patients we treat have transitioned home from the hospital or have been referred by their primary care physician.

Some of the many services our therapists provide are as follows:

  • Orthopedic Rehabilitation – Provides treatment to regain strength and mobility
  • Neuro Rehabilitation – Helps patients who have had a stroke, traumatic brain injury or other neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, myasthenia gravis, etc.

  • Balance Disorders/Vestibular Rehabilitation – Provides treatment for vestibular or balance disorders by developing a plan that includes specific head, body and eye exercises
  • Specialty Therapy Classes – Provides class options for patients with chronic neck, back, and knee pain
  • Hand Therapy – Provides care for broken hands and arms, as well as, for those recovering from tendon and nerve repairs
  • Voice Therapy – Evaluates patients with laryngeal video-stroboscopy along with acoustic and aerodynamic assessments to create a specialized treatment plan to improve voice
  • Swallowing and Communication Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer – Provides care to patients with head and neck cancer by treating communication and swallowing difficulties before, during and after cancer treatment
