I highly recommend EIRMC Physical Therapy Specialties for rehab after a major health incident! I am a spouse of a person who had double heart by-pass surgery and a stroke. Once he was released from the hospital it was highly recommended he seek rehab therapy and stroke therapy came first over heart rehab. He needed to relearn the motor skills damaged by the stroke. I am fortunate that his cognitive skills are still very much like they were before the heart attack and stroke. He just needed to get his motor skills back on his left side. His release from EIRMC allowed him to seek outpatient stroke rehab. This included Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Therapy. His releasing doctor suggested he try EIRMC Physical Therapy Specialties for rehab. We liked the care he received from EIRMC and from his doctor during rehab in hospital so we took his suggestion. I attended his first occupational therapy session and met Kyle, an occupational therapist. I was very impressed! Kyle gently assessed where he was in his retraining of his brain to use his left side again and then helped him with some exercises that challenged but didn't frustrate him too much. Relearning how to use one's left side after many years of no issues at all is a very frustrating, difficult, and stressful situation. It has taken my spouse lots of time and energy to overcome as far as he has. There is still more recovery to come, but he is definitely on the right road to regaining most if not all of the former usage of his left side motor skills. Without the gentle, but firm therapy given by these talented and well trained therapists my husband might not have gotten the usage of his body back. He would be stuck in a body only half working and frustrated more each day. He can now wiggle his fingers, talk clearly, and walk without tripping. He can even turn a door handle to open it. These are great gifts given to my husband by his therapists and we are truly grateful. read more
