Copley’s Foot Care Program
Copley’s foot care program is a preventative care program that focuses on preventing pain, disability and infection by controlling nail, callus, corn and fungal growth. Timely and effective foot care can be the difference between maintaining independent mobility and the development of painful, unstable gait and/or infection. Physical Therapists in this program utilize their selective debridement skills to remove excess nail growth, shave calluses, cut out corns and relieve the pressure of ingrown toenails. The patients of this program are among our most loyal, often commenting about how much better they feel immediately after each session and how much they appreciate this service. The appropriate candidate enjoys hands-on care, developing long term relationships with patients, and is committed to preventative care.
Inpatient Physical Therapy
Copley provides care to inpatients with a wide range of diagnoses requiring physical therapy services to develop the mobility necessary to function in their target environments.
