It starts with a thorough evaluation. Your therapist will work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals to help you return to your maximum function for a better quality of life.

Because recovery from a brain injury often requires care and treatment over an extended period of time, we may recommend one of two different outpatient programs to support your ongoing recovery.

Outpatient rehabilitation for a brain injury is available at many of our 45 locations throughout the Chicago area. They provide the same high standards of care that guide our inpatient brain injury rehabilitation programs. Adult and pediatric services are available.
Day rehabilitation therapy offers two or more outpatient therapy services (physical, occupational or speech) with care coordination from a case manager.
- Other services, such as psychology and referrals for physiatrists (�� Regional Medical Group), are available based on your needs.
- Admission to the program may require a medical record review.
- Day rehabilitation for adults and pediatric patients is offered at our locations in Wheaton and Crystal Lake.

Your therapy plan is designed to help you manage the physical, emotional and behavioral changes you may be experiencing.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy aims to optimize your physical abilities, reduce the effects of your disease or injury, and prevent further disability. You will learn how to manage your condition, reduce pain and restore mobility.
