How does rehabilitation therapy work?
Fair Oaks offers short-term inpatient rehab therapy including occupational, speech and physical therapies plus other modalities. Many patients use physical therapy prior to surgery, and to help with healing following a hospital stay or post-surgical procedure such as a knee or hip replacement.
