“All outpatients are seen by a licensed therapist, rather than aides or assistants, as is the case in some other facilities,” says Karen Granato, manager, Edward Rehabilitation Services. “And, we try to ensure they’re seen by the same therapist throughout the course of their treatment."
The therapists' goal is to help patients resume normal activities, reduce the need for pain medication and, in some cases, provide an alternative to surgery.
Early morning and evening hours are available at all of Edward’s Rehab locations. To make an appointment, call (630) 527-3375. For more information, visit www.edward.org/rehab.
