Otto Kaiser Physical Rehabilitation Department

Physical Rehabilitation | Otto Kaiser Memorial Hospital

The Otto Kaiser Rehabilitation Department offers comprehensive outpatient and inpatient therapy services including Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy. Our licensed therapists provide individualized treatment to our patients that focuses on improving quality of life and restoring function.
The Rehab Department is located within the hospital. This allows patients to come into the clinic on an outpatient basis to receive treatment. Also, because of our location, our therapists provide specialized care to our inpatient Swing Bed program. The Swing Bed program allows patients to stay in the hospital to receive skilled therapy and nursing services while recovering from an acute medical illness or surgery.

Scope of services includes the treatment of developmental, musculoskeletal, orthopedic, neurological, and sports related injuries. Our experienced therapists offer one-on-one therapy sessions, with an emphasis on coordinated care and active patient participation, all while working towards the patient's goals and an improved level of function.
