Outpatient Therapy

Sometimes after an injury, illness or surgery, you may find that you are struggling with everyday activities – from communicating and walking to simple household chores and personal hygiene. If you need help recovering, a Mercy therapist can assess your needs and develop a specialized therapy plan to get you back on track.

• Physical therapy builds muscle strength, enhances range of motion, and improves mobility, balance and coordination.
• Occupational therapy develops skills for independent living, such as preparing meals, doing laundry, driving or completing work-related tasks.
• Speech therapy helps patients who have difficulty communicating due to speech, language, memory or cognition problems. It may also help patients who have difficulty eating or swallowing.
