Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine

For more than 15 years, The Department of Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine at Chester County Hospital has successfully partnered with tens of thousands of patients from all over Chester County, PA seeking non-invasive pain relief from orthopaedic and neurologic conditions, post-surgical procedures, or injuries. We provide customized treatment programs at Chester County Hospital in West Chester, PA and other locations throughout Chester County, PA to guide patients on the safest path to rehabilitation, pain management and recovery. We provide quality care specific to the needs of each patient.

Each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation and an individualized treatment program. Therapists consult regularly with the patient's physician about specific treatment plans and the progress of therapy and rehab. The treatment plan serves as a road map to recovery and as the foundation for continued progress. Through the use of state-of-the-art therapies and equipment -- including aquatics, evidence based therapy, Cybex machines, free weights, upper body cycles, stationary bikes, treadmills, parallel bars and balance equipment -- our patients are able to realize impressive results quickly. Patients are taught the proper therapeutic exercise techniques to aid in the rehabilitation process and learn how to "listen" to their bodies to prevent additional discomfort or re-injury. Toward the end of the rehabilitation process, patients are encouraged to develop a certain level of autonomy to serve as a guideline for their specific discharge program.
