Reach Your Goals With Spaulding Rehabilitation

Here at Spaulding Outpatient Rehabilitation at Kent Hospital, we offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy services to help you as an individual reach your goals.  We have skilled therapists who specialize in the LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG programs. These research-based programs are specifically designed for increasing amplitude and intensity of voice and movement patterns to directly treat and combat the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

Our clinicians are also highly involved with the Parkinson’s community by hosting a weekly Informational and support group for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, and by participating in the yearly Parkinson’s foundation walk as a team while raising funds for the American Parkinson Disease Association.
