	Physical Therapy

		The Physical Therapy Department of Wooster Community Hospital is comprised of uniquely qualified professionals who provide distinct services to those individuals who have experienced a functional change in their ability to perform activities of leisure, work or sports due to physical injury, illness and/or disease. The therapists use a wide range of physical modalities, equipment and hands on techniques to help your body recover to its maximum benefit.

		Sports Medicine
		Services that allow the competitive athlete to maximize their rehab potential are encouraged. A treatment plan based on the nature of the athlete's injury and active involvement of the doctor, coach and parent. Once the safety of the athlete is established we aggressively pursue the goals of the athlete.

		Orthopedic Conditions
		The Physical Therapy staff offers expertise in the treatment and rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries. Soft tissue and joint problems which lead to muscle strains, sprains, bursitis, tendonitis and fractures.

		Community Outreach/ Home Health
		The Physical Therapy department is committed to serving the Wayne and Holmes County region. To be eligible for this program, you generally must be confined to your home. This means your condition does not permit leaving the home on a regular basis. The Physical Therapy department meets with support groups to provide helpful information regarding their services. Information regarding this service can be arranged by contacting the rehabilitation department.
