Acute Care/TCU
The LRMC therapy staff, together with other LRMC team members, use their expertise to assist patients to regain their strength and mobility in order to reach their prior level of function to return home.

Outpatient Physical Therapy
The individualized "hands on" approach that characterizes a physical therapist’s care is highly valued by patients. When the LRMC physical therapist sees a patient for the first time, an evaluation will be performed with a plan of care developed that promotes the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. The P.T. and PTA work side by side to make sure the goals of the treatment plan are met.

Many treatment methods are utilized and may include: ultrasound, EMS (electric muscle stimulation), massage, heat, ice, and traction to help reduce pain, swelling, and muscle spasm. Exercise including stretching and strengthening as well as a wide range of exercise equipment helps to build strength and increase flexibility.

Specialized therapists are available on site for treatment to patients of all ages from pediatric clients to the elderly. Specialized services include treatment of urinary incontinence/women’s health issues, balance and vestibular issues, and pediatrics. LRMC also employs two athletic trainers that work at our outpatient clinic and in conjunction with the athletic programs at Lapeer East and Lapeer West High Schools.
