Physical Therapy

The physical therapy department at UPMC St. Margaret, part of UPMC Centers for Rehab Services, helps patients improve their level of functioning as much as possible in the workplace, on the athletic field, or in the home.

The physical therapy department at UPMC St. Margaret serves patients of most ages. Impairments treated include growth injuries, orthopaedic injuries, work-related injuries, managing arthritis, effects of aging, or recovering from an injury such as a stroke or automobile accident.

Based on the patient’s individualized physical therapy plan, rehabilitation may include manual therapy, thermal agents, exercise and balance activities, and aquatic therapy.

During the initial visit, a licensed physical therapist will evaluate the problem and work with the patient to establish goals for treatment. The experienced staff works closely with a patient’s physician in order to provide continuity of care. State-of-the-art equipment allows patients to perform highly defined movements and exercises that measure their rehabilitation progress.

Referrals are accepted from medical doctors, podiatrists, and dentists.
