A approach is utilized, the PT director continues. This facility has been serving here more than 10 years and the variety of services offered are an integral part of services here. We like people to feel they are part of a family, here, he emphasizes. I would feel comfortable bringing my family here. Ive worked at several facilities and this is tops as far as the staff relationship with patients and families, Mr. Lloyd stresses. Ms. Hunter likes the combination of all physical therapy knowledge that can be used to treat the Centerville The and the surrounding community with other locations from Salt Lake City to Ogden. We are a specialty hospital with a rehabilitation emphasis and that means some unique challenges, Mr. Lloyd explains. Fractures, strokes and brain trauma are some of the nuyor problems where function becomes impaired. Those conditions are in addition to the back problems, sprains and strains where physical therapy may assist to improve function. Example of those receiving physical therapy help include a 47 year-ol- d patient who suffered electrocution with accompanying stroke and a need for knee replacement is regaining use of those limbs through Neurological Development Therapy (NDT) and orthopedic strengthening programs. Weight shifting is a complicated process when youre trying to learn it again, says Sharon Hunter, physical therapist. In this patients case, he is gaining ability to walk again and must learn to transfer weight to both feet while balancing his body weight. The patient is on his way up, as Mr. Lloyd says. He can now transfer himself. In fact, hes able to move about with a cane and minimal assistance, strength and coordinate movement are impro--: ving to allow enhanced function, he adds. Another patient they are working stroke vic-- : with is an tim. Using some of the facilitory type equipment, it actually includes different sizes of balls and bolsters that can assist and facili-- . tate movement as part of physical therapy.
