You’ll meet YRMC’s Physical Rehabilitation team and receive a thorough assessment of your physical rehabilitation needs and challenges. With this information, a personalized care plan will be developed to help you achieve your healing and recovery goals.

 

YRMC’s Physical Rehabilitation is unique in that our licensed and experienced therapists develop and implement your therapy plan. While other centers use technicians or aides for therapy sessions, we provide you full 45-minute, one-to-one therapy sessions with licensed therapists. This allows us to track your progress and adjust your therapy plan as needed.

 

The number of sessions you need depends on your diagnosis and the type of treatment you require. Your treatment plan will be customized to your health needs. Your Physical Rehabilitation Services therapist will carefully monitor your progress as you work toward your goals.

 

Ask your physician to fax a referral to (928) 771-5507 and call Physical Rehabilitation Services at (928) 771-5131 with any additional questions.

 

The cost of this program should fall under your health insurance company’s physical therapy benefit. It’s always best to check with your insurance provider before starting any new care program.
