Physical Therapy
We offer services spanning the entire continuum of care from our ICU through inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation. Our physical therapy staff evaluates and treats patients both at the main campus of the medical center as well as at our clinic at the Arbor Lakes Medical Building in Maple Grove.
Exercise programs are individualized for each patient and may focus on improving the patient's strength, balance, coordination, mobility or endurance. The physical therapist also assesses the potential need for devices to assist with walking, wheelchairs and cushion, or orthotics. Patient treatment focuses on identifying the patient's goals and maximizing return of ability to perform functional activities such as bed mobility, transferring, and walking to facilitate the highest level of independence possible.
Specialized services offered include:
Assessment and treatment for vestibular disorders - Vestibular disorders (inner ear) can cause dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, hearing changes, nausea, fatigue, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and other symptoms.
Assessment and treatment for lymphedema - Primary lymphedema can occur in patients who have a genetic mechanical defect in their lymphatic system. However, in most cases, patients experience secondary lymphedema. Secondary lymphedema is commonly seen in patients who have had a surgery involving a removal of lymph nodes or radiation therapy to lymph nodes du to cancer. Lymphedema is identified as abnormal swelling of a body part due to the accumulation of protein-rich lymph fluid. Depending on the extent of swelling, lymphedema may be classified as mile, moderate or severe. It may develop within weeks of surgery or gradually over a period of several years. It may also be triggered by injury to the limb, infection, or a simple bug bite.
