UnityPoint Health - St. Luke's Rehabilitation Services - Downtown

When you’re recovering from surgery, an injury or dealing with pain or another health condition that affects your ability to function, UnityPoint Health Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation can help you regain your independence and improve mobility.

Physical Therapy (PT) is the practice of rehabilitation of functional mobility after an illness, injury or disease. Treatments may include gait, balance and transfer training and exercise programs. Physical therapy offers specialty programs for treatment of lymphedema, vestibular (dizziness) issues, pelvic floor issue (bowel, bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain) and dry needling.

Occupational Therapy (OT) is skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives. Occupational therapy focuses on fine motor skills, cognitive abilities, visual-perceptual skills and sensory-processing.

Speech therapy provides skilled therapy services to adults and children to facilitate improved communication, swallowing and cognitive skills.

Our specialists work closely with you, your child, family physician or school to design an individualized program for your child. Physical, occupational and speech therapists create fun, hands-on activities and use various play and social techniques to address specific therapy challenges.

Our specially trained lymphedema therapists provide non-invasive lymphedema therapy to patients. Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) treatment of lymphedema is an individualized plan of care customized for each patient. The treatment aims to help you control swelling through evidence-based therapy practices.
