About Our Programs
The Montefiore Einstein Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation provides the complete spectrum of evidence-based rehabilitation programs and continually incorporates the latest research and innovative therapeutic techniques. Our therapy patients benefit from a proactive, multidisciplinary approach that coordinates care across physical and occupational therapists, as well as speech-language pathologists. Many of our therapists have specialized skill sets and hold advanced certifications.
Our therapists are integral team members of specialized care departments across the Montefiore Einstein network. They work closely with primary care physicians and specialty teams that include pediatricians, surgeons and radiologists to devise a tailored treatment plan based on your particular environment, abilities, aspirations and potential.
Our Therapeutic Services
Our comprehensive suite of therapeutic programs is meticulously designed to address a broad spectrum of rehabilitative needs. Each service is tailored to your unique circumstances and goals.
Physical Therapy
Our Program focuses on restoring movement, alleviating pain and rebuilding strength and functional mobility, particularly for those recovering from injury or surgery, or who are managing chronic conditions, employing evidence-based techniques to enhance physical capacity.
Occupational Therapy
Our regimens empower individuals to master essential activities of daily living, adapt to new challenges and reengage meaningfully in life’s occupations—whether at home, at work or in the community—by improving function and participation, sometimes through adapted activities and environments.
Speech-Language Therapy
Our services are committed to optimizing communication abilities, encompassing articulation, fluency, voice and language, and expertly addressing swallowing dysfunctions (dysphagia) to enhance safe nutrition and social interaction.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Our Program offers a medically supervised, multifaceted approach for patients recovering from cardiac events or managing chronic heart conditions. It integrates monitored exercise, comprehensive education on risk factor modification and psychosocial support to improve cardiovascular health.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
We provide comprehensive interventions for individuals with chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma or interstitial lung disease. Through exercise training, education and behavioral strategies, we aim to improve breathing, increase exercise tolerance, reduce symptoms of dyspnea and enhance self-management and quality of life.
