A timely recovery from an injury, surgery or illness often is determined by the quality of care received during recuperation.

Our licensed and experienced therapists provide physical, occupational, hand and speech therapies for patients of all ages at Grace Hospital and Valdese Hospital.

All treatment is ordered by medical doctors who receive regular progress reports during and after the patient's therapy.
