Ashland Community Hospital's Physical Therapy Department offers two separate programs.

1. Inpatient Physical Therapy
2. Aquatic Physical Therapy

Each location is staffed with physical therapists who all have extensive training and experience. 

Inpatient Physical Therapy

Our Physical Therapy staff possess expertise in all aspects of Physical Therapy, including the latest procedures and techniques used in the rehabilitation of total joint replacements, spinal surgery, sports and other orthopedic injuries, as well as cardiac and neurological conditions. We are committed to providing each of our patients with an individualized treatment program that is designed to meet their specific needs. Our Physical Therapists work closely with other members of our hospital’s multidisciplinary team, and together with the patient and their family members or caregivers, we are able to provide a smooth transition from hospital to home.

Aquatic Physical Therapy

The water provides a wonderful environment for helping patients restore strength, balance and range of movement.  The feeling of weightlessness and the natural resistance of the water provide a safe environment for people at risk for falling or less able to tolerate activities. 

Ashland Community Hospital is fortunate to be able to provide physical therapy in the Ashland YMCA pool.  The warm temperature combined with the saltwater filtration system provides a wonderful environment for healing.  When patients gain sufficient strength from aquatic therapy, they often transfer to regular outpatient therapy, YMCA classes or an independent program.
