Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a specialized rehabilitation service that assesses and restores physical function impaired by illness, injury, or disability. Its ultimate goal is to support individuals achieve greater independence in daily activities and improve their quality of life.
At the National Rehabilitation Center, physical therapists conduct evidence-based assessments of the musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary systems, and develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s condition. We provide therapy for a wide range of conditions across all age groups, from adult neurological disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury to pediatric patients with congenital and developmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy.
Our physical therapy interventions include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy, pain management, cardiopulmonary training, assistive device use and training, as well as patient and caregiver education and counseling.
With highly experienced therapists, advanced equipment, and comprehensive rehabilitation programs, we offer patient-centered, integrated services for people of all ages. We are committed not only to hospital based care but also to continuous rehabilitation that suppirts patients in returning to daily life and actively participating in their communities.
Contents of the Therapy
Exercise therapy
Exercise therapy is done to preserve flexibility and mobility of the joints and improve muscular strength. Therapists help patients to rebuild their muscular functions and relearn everyday skills.
Pain and electrotherapy
The thermo-electric therapy room provides heat (hotpack, paraffin bath), ray (infrared light, laser), electrotherapy (low frequency, medium frequency, high frequency), and stretch therapy (pelvic traction, cervical traction). It reduces inflammation and pain for enhanced daily life.
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
Electrical stimulation is provided to promote muscle contraction for functionally useful movements. It is mainly effective for easing cramp, maintaining range of joint motion, and strengthening muscles for physical function improvement, and for retraining the muscles for people with stroke, brain damage, or spinal cord injury.
