In-hospital physical therapy and rehabilitation in Florida

If you have been in the hospital for a serious illness, injury or surgery, your body will go into overdrive trying to recover, but it often needs help to ensure you can completely heal without risking reinjury.

To help you with this, many hospitals in the HCA Florida Healthcare network offer inpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation programs. We will help you take advantage of these services as soon as you are able — even the same day as your procedure, in some cases — by developing a personalized therapy plan for you. Our coordinated approach to your recovery includes ongoing support and discharge planning to help you get back to your life and regular activities as quickly as possible.
