Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Program
Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital’s Neuromuscular Program aggressively focuses on increasing function, physical and emotional well being for all patients. In line with Marianjoy’s devotion to healing and caring for others, our Neuromuscular Program is fully equipped to care for patients who require a rehab program due to serious illness.
We treat patients with a wide variety of conditions and diagnoses including:
- Guillain-Barré
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease
Although we create unique treatment plans for every patient, our goal is the same: to develop workable solutions to manage the physical, emotional and behavioral changes that each patient experiences. Given an individual’s abilities and prior lifestyle, we provide a comprehensive approach for learning techniques to:
- Increase strength and function while reducing physical limitations and pain
- Build physical awareness and strength
- Cultivate lifestyle behaviors that promote wellness and longevity
- Restore daily living activities (given abilities)
- Maximize potential to perform daily living activities
In order to succeed in our devotion to changing outcomes for patients, we approach rehabilitation through a continuum of care that begins and ends with the mission of preserving dignity and independence.
Comprehensive services
One of the key factors of our program is to establish concrete goals for each patient, following a thorough evaluation. It is crucial that each patient, working within realistic boundaries, establishes attainable goals to reach the highest functional level possible. It is equally important that patients learn to pace themselves throughout the program, easing into new activities.
Our program includes single and integrated rehabilitation services for pediatric, adolescent, adult and geriatric patients in the following areas:
- Functional mobility retraining
- Self-care retraining
- Swallowing and voice care
- Community reentry
- Cognitive retraining
- Emotional and behavioral evaluation and treatment
- Therapeutic recreation and leisure skills
- Family and patient counseling/education
- Spiritual care
- Vocational services
- Health management
In addition, we offer specialized programs not always provided by other rehabilitation programs including: driver assessment and training, community-based therapy, sports clinics, activity outings, biofeedback and vestibular treatment.

A devotion to compassionate care
Since the early 1970’s, Marianjoy has worked with referring physicians and case managers to provide excellence in rehabilitation care. Our vast experience combined with a patient-centered environment offers more focused care than ever to our patients.
We are proud to offer high quality services to complement our devotion to individual healing. But the real pride lies in our patients’ commitment to continued growth in leading productive and fulfilling lives.
We look forward to working with you toward a common goal: a fulfilling future for our patients.
Attending and consulting physicians are not employed by Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital, but are independent physicians with privileges to provide services to patients at our facilities. The attending physicians are employees of Marianjoy Medical Group, a separate corporation from the hospital.
