Rehabilitation at Stamford Hospital

Rehabilitation is the art and science of helping people with disabling conditions regain their independence in order to lead full, active lives.  The science lies in understanding how joints, muscles and the brain work, and how the body heals after trauma; the art lies in understanding how people heal and what motivates them through the difficult process of recovery from illness or injury. 

Here at Stamford Hospital, we offer a wide range of rehabilitation services to individuals of all ages and varying abilities  … the athlete who wants to return to play, the adult who has had a stroke and needs to relearn physical, language or cognitive skills, the child who requires special equipment to maximize their potential or the individual whose daily activities are limited by swollen extremities (lymphedema) or difficulty breathing. 

Our expert team of rehab professionals, including physicians specializing in rehabilitative medicine as well as clinical specialists in occupational and physical therapy, speech and language pathology, rehab psychology, and respiratory therapy work together with patients and their physicians toward the goals of restoring mobility, improving function and enhancing the quality of life.
