Rehabilitation Services

At Cumberland Hospital, through our Rehabilitation and Recreational therapy team, we can offer our patients individualized, on-site Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Recreation Therapy.

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy services at Cumberland Hospital through individual treatment plans aim to improve our patient’s mobility, balance, help manage pain, improve posture/positioning and prevent physical dysfunction. Our physical therapist, Dr. Cahill, has a background in working with pediatrics with poly-trauma and brain injuries.

Speech-Language Pathology

Speech-Language Pathology or “Speech Therapy” services at Cumberland Hospital aims to optimize our patient’s abilities to communicate and swallow. Service delivery includes collaboration, education, screening, assessment and treatment. Speech therapy treats patients with delays, disorders or differences in areas such as speech production, language, social skills, cognition, literacy, voice, fluency and swallowing skills.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy (OT) services at Cumberland Hospital focus on optimizing skills needed for improving ADLs (self-care, dressing, bathing, eating) and IADLs (meal planning, cooking, organizational skills, stress management, money management). OT also focuses on cognitive skills and on self-regulation skills by use of sensory processing strategies and methods of regulating emotions. In addition, OT works on development and improvement of visual motor skills needed for performance of daily activities.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational Therapy services at Cumberland Hospital utilize leisure, recreation and play to meet individualized therapeutic goals to improve mental health, the ability to utilize/identify copying strategies and develop skills for re-integration into the community. Our recreation therapists utilize the five domains of recreational therapy to improve our patient’s social health and reduce anxiety and depression: physical, social, cognitive, emotional and spiritual.
