Rehabilitation

Centra offers rehabilitation outpatient services in several different areas. For more information, please call  Centra Virginia Baptist Hospital Physical Therapy Occupational Therapy Speech Therapy at (434) 200-4668.

The rehabilitation unit serves patients affected by disabling illnesses and injuries including stroke, amputation, head injuries, rheumatoid arthritis and other disabilities. Our multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, therapists and social workers provides medical and rehabilitative services for treating, educating and supporting the patient and family. The emotional, spiritual and psychological needs of the patient are important to the total rehabilitation process.

Physical therapists work closely with a patient's physicians and nurses to coordinate a personalized treatment program. A physical therapist works with the patient on every aspect of mobility, from climbing stairs to exercising and walking with crutches or a walker.
Occupational therapists help the patient develop adaptive skills, including basic everyday tasks, from bathing and dressing to routine homemaking.

The speech rehabilitation unit serves patients affected by disabling illnesses and injuries including stroke, amputation, head injuries, rheumatoid arthritis and other disabilities.

Cardiac rehabilitation services (CRS) are also offered.  The Courtside Athletic Club provides a maintenance exercise program for cardiac patients as well.
