Physical Therapy
As part of our rehabilitation program, our innovative physical therapy programs support the rehabilitation goals of each patient through inpatient and outpatient services, and even customized home exercise programs.
You might seek physical therapy to restore your strength and balance; improve your range of motion; reduce pain after surgery or injury; treat underlying medical conditions; or even just take control of your health with preventive treatments. No matter what brings you to our team, we’re constantly advancing care for a healthier you.
Key benefits of our physical therapy program include:
- Keep your game strong by designing customized exercise plans to reduce the risk of joint and muscle damage—no matter your skill level or sport of choice
- Increase independence for older adults by improving balance to reduce the risk of falls
- Recover from a stroke through techniques such as neuromuscular re-education to help coordinate nerves and muscles; proprioceptive training, which re-trains the nervous system to aid in self-awareness of body position; treadmill training; and “arm restriction,” which helps the body support affected limbs

Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is all about empowering you to perform activities of daily life that have become difficult due to disease or injury—such as bathing and toileting, using the telephone, preparing meals and climbing stairs.

Balancing your current abilities, your environment and the demands of your daily life, we partner with you to understand your most important activities—and customize a plan to increase your ease and independence at every step.
We are currently accepting referrals for patients of all ages, including children and teens—and our occupational therapy team is eager to partner with you.
Through a patient-centered, interdisciplinary approach, Artesia General Hospital’s outpatient occupational therapy services can support you in the following areas:
- Developmental Delays
- Fine Motor Skills
- Hand and Upper Extremity Injuries
- Mental Health Difficulties

Speech Therapy
As the only clinic in Artesia that provides outpatient speech therapy, we have the expertise, convenient location and program options to offer all the support you or your loved one may need.
Our speech-language pathologists assess speech, language and cognitive communication, as well as oral, feeding and swallowing skills. During treatment, we’ll focus on improving communication and empowering our patients to meet their goals.
We also offer customized services for adults who have suffered a stroke or brain injury, as well as those experiencing impairments such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s or multiple sclerosis. Working with the primary care provider, we develop goals for you or your loved one.
Common treatments often include physical strengthening exercises, instructive or repetitive practice, or the use of audio-visual aids. For communication issues, our team uses strategies related to language and cognition to help patients communicate as effectively as possible. For swallowing disorders, we can help retrain muscles to improve swallowing and food clearing.
