The outpatient therapists specialize in treating orthopedic and sports injuries, musculoskeletal pain syndromes, postoperative care and neurological impairments. Additionally we are excited to announce that in 2020 the Department will be relaunching the Lymphedema Program, it a treatment approach that helps reduce localized swelling due to possible damage in the lymphatic ducts and nodes.
The inpatient physical therapy department is located on the Petrie campus at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. Patients referred for physical therapy services are evaluated and treated in the ED, Acute-Care Units and the Rapid Evaluation Treatment Unit. This select group of therapists are experts in gait and transfer training, bed mobility, body mechanics, safety awareness, pre-operative joint replacement education, and pre-prosthetic gait training.
Inpatient PTs work closely with the interdisciplinary team to facilitate safe discharge planning. Outpatient Physical Therapy is located at MSUS in Suite 5N. For appointments, please call (212) 844-8750. Inpatient rehab consultations can be requested through PRISM. For questions, please call (212) 420-2763.
