Physical Therapy (Orthopedic Physical Therapy, Geriatric Physical Therapy, Neurological Physical Therapy)

MORC offers evaluation and treatment of injuries related to the musculoskeletal system of the body. This includes the neck/back, shoulders, elbows, wrist/hands, hips, knees, ankle/foot, as well as any other problems related to the muscles or bones.

 

The goal is to restore maximum function and pain-free range of motion to moving body parts (for example, knees, elbows, neck, lower back) following surgery or traumatic injury. It's also to help people with chronic musculoskeletal or neurological disabilities (such as cerebral palsy, ALS, post-stroke recovery, etc.) achieve a greater range of motion and live more active lives.

Pain Management

No one deserves to cope or live with pain. Mercy Outpatient Rehab offers many treatments that do not require needles, medication, nor surgery! Our medical team carefully evaluates each patient with regard to degree of pain, physical condition and their personal health goals to help us to select your best course of treatment. 

 

We use a comprehensive approach in treating our patients. We utilize physical therapeutics and rehabilitation, individualized hands on treatments with manual therapy, therapeutic and corrective exercises, ergonomic corrections, electrodiagnosis, and new technology that helps relieve your pain.

 

Over the years, we have helped many patients in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties find relief from acute and chronic pain—including patients with highly challenging conditions.

 

 

Speech Therapy

Stroke, seizures, and other neurological problems are common reasons for losing speech. We'll work with you to regain your motor skills.

 

Occupational Therapy

Our Occupational Therapists help return patients back to purposeful activity after physical injuries by helping the patient acquire or rebuild skills that have been lost or damaged. To understand this better, think of  ”occupation” as “any purposeful activity.” This definition allows for us to treat injuries that are related to work, leisure and the basic activities of daily living.
