Skilled Therapy Services in West Siloam Springs, OK

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is one of the most common types of therapy for our residents. In your appointments, your physical therapist will teach you stretches and exercises that will help your injury heal or help you manage your chronic illness or pain. You'll be taught exercises that you can do at home or in your facility apartment to help you function more effectively.

Benefits of physical therapy:

• Prevent future falls by strengthening your muscles and improving your balance
• Recover from an injury or trauma to a joint
• Avoid future surgeries
• Help manage pain to reduce the need for medicine

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps our residents do the things that they want and need to do through the use of daily activities. Our therapists enable patients to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability. 

Our occupational therapy services include:

• an evaluation where the client and occupational therapist determine the person’s goals
• customized intervention to improve the person’s ability to perform daily activities and reach the goals
• an outcomes evaluation to ensure that the goals are being met and/or make changes to the plan. 

Speech Therapy Services

Speech therapy helps those who have difficulty with slurred speech, language, swallowing, and cognitive function from a stroke, head injury, concussion, or neurological disease. The techniques used in this type of therapy are different for each patient. In your first appointment, we will identify the type of communication disorder you have, and then develop goals and an appropriate plan of care to improve your communication skills.

Speech therapy can improve:

• speech sound production
• communication skills, like what words to say and how to form complete statements
• short-term memory, organization, and planning
