Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

‘Physiatry’ is a branch of medicine that aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities. They specialize in restoring optimal function to people with injuries to muscle, bones, tissues and nervous systems (e.g. stroke). They work with the Physical & Occupational therapists in the various SNF & LTC facilities to provide them with consultations and direction.
