The Physical Therapy Department at the Hutchinson Clinic treats clients
with musculoskeletal, orthopedic, and neurological conditions upon
physician referral. The department also accepts referral from non-Clinic
physicians. The department is staffed by three full time Physical Therapists, Mark
Hall, Kim Reed and Lacie Emery, a Physical Therapy Assistant, and an Athletic
Trainer.
Treatment programs are developed in consultation with physicians and
may include physical modalities, therapeutic exercise instruction, work
reconditioning programs, hydrotherapy, and home exercise instruction.
The department equipment includes Cybex strengthening and aerobic
conditioning equipment, as well as physical modalities such as heat, ice,
ultrasound, traction, electrical stimulation, and massage.
The
Physical Therapy Department also houses the Physical Capacity Profile Testing
System that is designed to help reduce workers compensation costs. This
system measures an employee's strength capability allowing the employer to place
the employee in a position that matches their strength capabilities, thus
reducing the potential for injury.
Physical Therapy plays an active role in the rehabilitation of individuals
with pain and disability in reaching optimal levels of function.
Please feel free to call Mark Hall, Kim Reed or Lacie Emery at 620-669-2622 if you have questions
about Physical Therapy.
