Physical Therapy

Physical therapy helps patients achieve, maintain, and restore physical functioning and health after an illness or injury. As members of a patient’s healthcare team, physical therapists participate by bringing professional expertise in movement science.

Your therapist evaluates your needs and designs an individualized plan of care to promote your ability to move and function with less pain while preventing disability. Physical therapy services also include discharge planning, patient education, and helping to obtain durable medical equipment for home use.

Speech Therapy

Harrison County Hospital speech therapists assess and treat patients with verbal communication challenges. Speech therapists teach patients skills designed to restore the ability to communicate, either in a normal or assisted manner.

These skilled professionals treat speech disorders (misarticulation of sounds or stuttering), difficulty with voice and resonance, social communication, cognitive-communication disorders (organizing thoughts, paying attention, remembering, planning, and problem solving), and swallowing disorders. These disorders may be congenital or acquired from neurological disorder, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or dementia.
