Joint Health Program

Spaulding Outpatient Rehabilitation of Kent Hospital’s Joint Health program addresses an individual’s joint pain with a specifically designed physical therapy plan to enhance joint health, while decreasing pain and maximizing functional abilities.  Each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation of their condition and an individualized plan of care from a physical therapist. 

The therapist will work with the referring physician and the orthopedic department to assist with avoiding or delaying any unnecessary procedures. The care plan may include in-person care, virtual telehealth visits, or a combination of both to meet individual needs and comfort levels. Therapists provide education and instruction on therapeutic exercise programs along with handouts, pictures, and videos.
 
Research has shown therapy to be a successful first step in reducing sudden or chronic joint pain.  With Spaulding, participants receive exceptional care and have the ability to be easily connected with a vast network of specialists and experts from across the region.
