Physical Therapy
2 Jack Foster Drive
Shenandoah, Iowa
(712) 246-7000

Physical Therapy at Shenandoah Medical Center is a team of skilled therapists who provide a continuum of services as part of a program that includes prevention, diagnosis, consultation, and treatment.  We strive to improve mobility, relieve pain, and limit disabilities of patients with injury or disease.

As part of the treatment plan, the Physical Therapists will evaluate a patient’s medical history and then perform a complete physical assessment to determine a patient’s limitation in range of motion, strength, coordination/balance, pain, and functional ability.  With this information, the therapist is then able to establish a plan of care in order to address the patients’ limitations and meet mutual patient goals.

A wide variety of conditions can be treated at Shenandoah Medical Center.  Part of these include: stroke, amputation, neurological impairments, brain/spinal cord injury, joint replacements/injuries, wounds, peripheral neuropathy, arthritis, pain, and sports injuries. 

We see patients in a variety of settings including outpatient, inpatient (skilled and acute), home health, and nursing home (skilled and Medicare Part B).  As part of a treatment program, the following modalities are available to be utilized:
