Physical Therapy

Physical therapy focuses on restoring strength, mobility and function following injury, illness or surgery. 

Our physical therapists use a combination of therapeutic exercise, manual techniques, and specialized modalities to relieve pain and help patients safely return to daily activities.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps patients rebuild the skills needed for everyday life when a physical, cognitive, or functional challenge affects their independence. 

Our occupational therapists take a whole-person approach, addressing everything from fine motor skills and hand rehabilitation to neurological recovery and lymphedema management.

Speech Therapy

Speech-language pathology addresses a wide range of communication, swallowing, voice, and cognitive challenges. 

Our speech therapists evaluate and treat conditions affecting a patient's ability to speak, understand, read, write, swallow safely, or think clearly and work with families and caregivers as partners in recovery.
 

Specialty Services

In addition to our primary services, we offer a variety of specialized programs designed for specific conditions and patients.

Pelvic Floor Therapy

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when the pelvic floor muscles become either too tense or too weak, leading to changes in bowel, bladder, or sexual function. Pelvic floor therapy addresses these dysfunctions in the muscles, ligaments and connective tissues of the pelvic region.

At HSHS St. Mary’s, pelvic floor treatment is provided to men and women one-on-one in a private, comfortable setting.

Conditions we treat include:

  • Constipation
  • Incomplete bladder emptying
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Pelvic pain
  • Pelvic floor muscle weakness or dysfunction
  • Postpartum musculoskeletal conditions
  • Urinary or fecal incontinence
  • Urinary frequency/urgency

LSVT BIG® & LOUD® for Parkinson's Disease

HSHS St. Mary's offers two research-based treatment programs developed specifically for individuals with Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions - one focused on voice, one on movement - delivered by our specialized speech and physical therapy teams.

LSVT LOUD® addresses the vocal loudness and clarity challenges most experienced by people with Parkinson's, including soft, mumbled, or monotone speech. This outpatient speech therapy program helps patients communicate more effectively and confidently in everyday situations.

LSVT BIG® addresses the small, slow movements that characterize Parkinson's - improving the amplitude of everyday physical movements like walking, reaching, and balance to help patients move more safely and independently.

Both programs are built around individualized care plans tailored to each patient's goals, with a strong emphasis on education, home practice strategies, and collaboration with family members and caregivers.

Our goal is to give patients the tools and confidence they need to participate fully in daily life.
