REHABILITATION SERVICES The rehabilitation services provided at Shriners Children’s Portland are a combination of clinical excellence and evidence-based research to provide the best care for children. Our therapists hold advanced certifications in many treatment interventions. Our team offers a wealth of clinical and medical expertise to patients who are seeking increased participation in daily activities, or are recovering from surgery or sports injuries. Our rehabilitation team advances the care we provide by collaborating in research to develop best treatment practices. We are dedicated to helping your child succeed. We specialize in pediatric therapy services for children with orthopedic needs, communication disorders, and burn or cleft/craniofacial care from birth to 18 years of age. Our family-centered approach ensures that both the patient and their family are included in establishing a plan of care that allows the patient to achieve greater independence and overall better quality of life. PHYSICAL THERAPY Physical therapy is an important component of care that serves to optimize independence by helping children improve their level of function through a variety of therapeutic activities. Our physical therapists will evaluate your child to determine a therapy program specifically tailored to their individual needs and developmental abilities. Physical therapy services are available onsite to tend to the needs of children in both our inpatient unit and outpatient clinics.
