Rehabilitation focuses on the patient as a whole — helping you to recover, improve or maintain functional abilities with mobility, personal cares, daily activities at work and home, and participation in leisure activities.
If you notice a decline in function, our rehabilitation team can provide evaluation and treatment to restore your quality of life to the highest possible level.
Our neurological rehabilitation therapists help you develop a treatment plan to learn new strategies to keep you safe and active, while maximizing your function and independence. We offer rehabilitation services at a variety of locations. Our Neuroscience Center, located at the main campus, is a world-class resource for complex neurological disorders. Our neurological rehabilitation therapists have extensive experience and state-of-the art rehabilitation gym to meet your needs.
After a hospital stay, some MS patients may be considered for further rehabilitation at the Froedert Bluemound Rehabilitation Hospital.
