Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

Occupational therapists at CentraState help people of all ages to improve function, independence, and quality of life, prevent disability, and promote health and wellness.

Occupational therapy can be a vital part of your healthcare by focusing on what matters most to your needs. Each patient follows a customized treatment plan with one-on-one sessions.

In addition, you may be educated on the use of compensatory strategies and adaptive equipment to allow for successful performance of daily activities.

Mobility and function are among the key indicators of good health across the lifespan. If you notice you’re having any issues with movement or functioning, you may benefit from an evaluation with CentraState’s Movement Disorder Program. This multidisciplinary program is designed to detect and manage any neurodegenerative issues early, when treatment is most effective.

The Movement Disorder Program is led by Jia Zhen Cheng, MD, a board-certified neurologist who is fellowship-trained in movement disorders, in collaboration with skilled therapists at CentraState’s OceanFirst Rehabilitation Center and various other medical specialties.

Pelvic floor issues are common problems caused by various physical conditions. They affect men and women of all ages, and can be treated using properly administered physical therapy techniques. This is precisely what the pelvic floor specialists at CentraState’s OceanFirst Rehabilitation Center Pelvic Floor Program provide.

The Pelvic Floor Program at CentraState’s OceanFirst Rehabilitation Center employs specially trained therapists who evaluate and treat incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders with gentle interventions, which typically improve symptoms after a few short visits.

A concussion is a brain injury that affects your brain function. The leading causes of concussion include motor vehicle crashes, falls, being struck on the head, and sports-related injuries. A common misconception is that a concussion comes from a blow to the head, but in some cases, they are caused by whiplash or by violently shaking the head.

At CentraState, our Neuro-Rehab Concussion Program offers a comprehensive approach to managing every aspect of concussion and brain injury, from assessment to treatment. A multidisciplinary team of adult and pediatric providers who specialize in sports medicine, rehabilitation, neurosurgery, and neurology are available to assist in managing various levels of concussion.

Joint replacement of the knee, hip, or shoulder can add years of pain-free mobility to your life. This type of surgery requires expert post-operative care. At CentraState, joint replacement rehabilitation (for shoulder, knee, or hip replacement recovery) is available at both The Manor Health and Rehabilitation Center (sub-acute short-term rehabilitation) and OceanFirst Rehabilitation Center (outpatient rehabilitation).

If you’ve had a joint replacement, our orthopedic physical therapists can work with you to:

• Strengthen the bone around the replaced joint
• Keep muscles strong, pliable, and healthy
• Manage pain
• Improve mobility, range of motion, and dexterity
