• Physical Therapy- Physical Therapy addresses physical dysfunction and/or pain, such as the ability to walk again after illness through the use of therapeutic exercise, modalities, balance and gait training activities. East Neck’s cutting-edge physical therapy department offers state-of-the-art physical therapy services for post-surgical and sub-acutely ill patients. Our interdisciplinary rehabilitation team works together synergistically to create a customized care plan for each patient to help each patient achieve their maximum functional status.
• Occupational Therapy- Occupational Therapy is geared toward improving functional and self-care skills called Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), including feeding, dressing and grooming, through the use of techniques to improve fine motor control, coordination, perception and cognitive skills. East Neck’s occupational therapy team focuses on cultivating, enhancing and adapting task development skills to increase each patient's the level of independence and autonomy. Therapists aim to rehabilitate hand, upper body and lower extremity functionality following trauma or surgery using specialized static and dynamic splinting techniques. Our therapists aim to return patients to their highest level of independence and to transition them back home.
• Speech and Language Therapy- Speech and Language Pathologists work on the communication and swallowing needs of patients by providing speech, language, oral and pharyngeal sensorimotor training. Our speech and language professionals employ a wide variety of speech and language techniques to address speech and communication problems, as well as cognitive issues.

• Restorative Nursing- Restorative Nursing aims to maximize the patient's level of function and minimize decline by encouraging positive decision-making, participation in daily self-care activities and promoting safe physical activity. Our restorative care nursing assistants reinforce the training patients receive from physical, speech and respiratory therapy.
