Therapy
The Richland Therapy Center provides inpatient and outpatient rehabilitative care to people of all ages; including birth to 3 and pediatrics. A registered therapist will, first, assess the patient’s therapy needs. Next, he or she will develop a plan and establish goals for the patient with input from the physician and the patient. Once, the plan is established, the therapist will begin implementation. As the plan progresses, your therapist or therapy assistant will continually re-evaluate the effectiveness of the plan, the goals and the results.
