Olympia Medical Center - Rehabilitation Services

Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists use some of the latest equipment/modalities including bicycles, upper body bikes, and much more. Our programs are designed to improve balance, coordination, motion, strength and mobility.

Occupational Therapy/Hand Therapy
For people with hand, shoulder or elbow problems, occupational therapy helps to re-educate patients on the activities of daily living such as functional skills for self-care ie., bathing, dressing, meal preparation and shopping. As part of our occupational therapy services, Olympia Medical Center offers a hand therapy program. Our hands are vital and complex instruments used almost continuously for self-care, work and leisure. Hand therapy improves function for many problems, including:

Repetitive strain problems, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, lateral epicondylitis
Arthritis, tenosynovitis, ganglion cysts (pre or post operative conditions)
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy and neurological limitations

Speech Therapy
In both the inpatient and outpatient settings, our speech language pathologists see patients with various neurological diagnoses; head and neck cancer; and voice disorders, who have difficulty communicating and/or thinking. They develop treatment plans to improve speech, voice, listening; reading, writing, and cognitive (thinking) skills.

For patient with swallowing problems, we offer Videoflouroscopic Swallowing studies that further assess swallowing physiology and anatomy. These studies also determine if and why a patient is aspirating. Trial treatment strategies are employed during the study in order to recommend the least restrictive diet and the safest way for the patient to eat and drink.
