ELITE Physical Therapy

Elite Physical Therapy by Crisp Regional is a team of licensed Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists that provide rehabilitation services at Crisp Regional Hospital (Inpatient), Elite (Outpatient), Cordele Health and Rehab (Skilled Nursing Facility), Crisp Regional Nursing and Rehab (Skilled Nursing Facility), and CareSouth Home Health Agency. Rehabilitation services include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Cardiac Rehab. These services address your ability to perform activities of daily living, strength, coordination, balance, endurance, swallowing ability, speech deficits, walking ability, pain, functional environment, and many more areas that allow you to function more independently. Each program is tailored to your individual needs and may include one or more types of therapy. Though you may have the ability via DIRECT ACCESS to see a physical therapist without a doctor’s order in our outpatient location, most of these services are initiated by your medical doctor. Elite therapists have the unique ability to create a seamless continuum of care between our multiple settings by communicating amongst team members to ensure the best care is provided to our patients. We look forward to helping you or your family member live your best life.

Types of Therapy

Occupational therapy helps you regain the ability to do normal, everyday tasks and activities by restoring old skills or teaching new skills. You are able to adjust to disabilities through adaptive equipment, orthotics and/or modification of your home environment to promote independent function.

Speech therapy (SLP) works to assess and treat speech, language, cognitive-communication and swallowing disorders in children and adults. Speech disorders result from difficulties producing sounds correctly or fluently or having trouble with voice. Language disorders target deficits with receptive (understanding others) and expressive (sharing ideas, thoughts, etc.) language skills due to loss or developmental delays. Cognitive-communication disorders include problems organizing thoughts, paying attention, remembering, planning and/or problem-solving. Swallowing disorders (dysphagia) are feeding and swallowing difficulties.
