Your path back to independence

Whether you need help with moving safely through your day, speaking clearly or performing daily activities, our outpatient team can help you feel and function your best. We provide a comprehensive range of rehabilitation options including hospital-based rehabilitation, physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy services. Our therapies require a doctor’s referral, but not a hospital stay. You come in for your scheduled treatment session and go home the same day.

In addition to our hospital-based rehabilitation services for outpatients, Roper St. Francis Physical Therapy Powered by ATI offers outpatient rehabilitation clinics, physical therapy and sports medicine services in convenient locations throughout the greater Charleston area.

Outpatient rehabilitation locations

Our hospital-based outpatient rehab programs are conveniently located in the Greater Charleston area. Roper St. Francis Physical Therapy, powered by ATI, also offers outpatient rehab clinics, physical therapy clinics and sports medicine services throughout the Lowcountry.

Inpatient rehabilitation takes place while you’re in the hospital or at a rehab facility. You’ll have access to around-the-clock nursing care as well as laboratory, pharmacy and imaging services. Outpatient rehab is appointment-based. You’ll travel to our facilities or clinics and return home after treatment, just as you would for a doctor’s appointment.

Occupational therapy helps you complete everyday activities, or occupations. Examples include dressing, grooming, cooking, driving a car or doing your job. When you’re facing certain health challenges or recovering from surgery, even simple, easy tasks may be more difficult. Occupational therapists help you make these tasks more manageable.

Exercise is usually part of physical therapy treatment, but not the only part. Physical therapists use a variety of tools to aid your recovery. Some of these include massage, ultrasound treatments, electrical stimulation, dry needling and kinesio taping. Our therapists choose the treatments that are most likely to help you achieve your treatment goals.

Speech therapists work with people to improve their quality of speech or work through issues with swallowing. We can help you learn to express thoughts more easily, eat and drink safely and understand others. We can also help you with attention and memory issues and improve your problem-solving abilities.

“It gave us hope. Hope to live everyday life to the fullest. And that’s what we’d like to give to others going through this. That four-letter word: hope.”

– Cindy T , spinal cord injury patient
