Physical Rehabilitation & Therapy

Balance disorders and dizziness are some of the most common causes of falls. NGMC Physical Therapy offers Balance and Vestibular Rehabilitation to help people with dizziness and balance issues, improve mobility, and regain confidence.

At NGMC, we understand that the battle against cancer extends beyond medical treatments, encompassing physical, emotional, and social aspects. Our comprehensive cancer rehabilitation program is designed to support and guide cancer survivors, enhancing their quality of life and restoring their overall well-being.

We are passionate about empowering individuals to live their lives to the fullest by providing exceptional occupational therapy services that focuses on improving people’s ability to engage in meaningful activities and achieve independence. Whether you or your loved one is dealing with physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges, our dedicated therapists work collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans that address specific goals and aspirations.

Falls are the leading cause of injury, death and trauma-related hospital admissions among people 65 and older, and at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, we want to help. NGMC Physical Therapy will lead you through the Otago Falls Prevention Program, an individually tailored balance and strength program, led by Otago-certified therapists. 

Pelvic Floor Therapy is a treatment for problems related to the pelvic floor, a group of muscles that support the urinary and reproductive tracts. Our pelvic floor physical therapists specialize in the muscles, tissues and nerves and conditions which affect the pelvic floor. Your therapist will first ask you some questions about your history and you will have the opportunity to share your concerns.
