Greater Cincinnati's Outpatient Physical & Occupational Therapy Centers

At The Christ Hospital Health Network Physical and Occupational Therapy Centers, we provide exceptional rehabilitation services when and where you need it. Whether your goal is to relieve pain, restore mobility, increase strength or improve function, we’ll exceed your expectations for what therapy can accomplish. We work closely with you, family members and your doctor to provide the care you need. 

Our highly trained physical and occupational therapists specialize in many areas of rehabilitation therapy. Physical therapists help patients build and regain skills that are essential for independent living. Occupational therapists address psychological, social and environmental factors that help individuals with basic functions and activities for everyday life.

Before designing a comprehensive treatment pro​gram, we conduct a thorough evaluation to assess your condition accurately. Once this is completed, your therapist works with you to develop a treatment plan and set individual goals. We use the latest equipment, a wide range of therapeutic exercises and a variety of treatment techniques. 

Our services

Our specialty care programs provide a full range of outpatient services with locations throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, including: 

Aquatic therapy 

Water supports the body and reduces stress on the joints so patients can strengthen muscles. We use this type of therapy to treat many conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, stroke and Parkinson's disease. Aquatic therapy helps patients improve their movement, strength and function early in the therapeutic process. 

Offered at: Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center).

Cancer rehabilitation

Cancer care extends beyond treatment of the disease itself. We have developed outpatient rehabilitation therapy programs to address the physical impacts of cancer treatment, including cancer related fatigue and lymphedema. 

Offered at: Fort Wright, Liberty Township, Mason, Miami Township, Montgomery, Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center), and Red Bank.

Hand therapy

We offer comprehensive services for patients with hand injuries, post-operative surgical conditions and other hand diagnoses. Our certified hand therapists provide a thorough evaluation and treatments that may include therapeutic exercise, splinting, functional activities, work conditioning and family training.

Offered at: Green Township, Montgomery and Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center).

Joint replacement rehabilitation

Following a joint replacement procedure, rehabilitation is essential for returning you to optimal function. This therapy includes building strength, restoring range of motion and preserving mobility. Our therapists work closely with your orthopedic surgeon to ensure you achieve the best possible results from your replacement procedure.

Offered at: Anderson, Fort Wright, Green Township, Liberty Township, Miami Township, Montgomery, Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center), and Red Bank.

Lymphedema therapy

Lymphedema is a collection of fluid that causes swelling (edema) in the arms and legs. Normally, lymph nodes filter fluid as it flows through them, trapping bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances, which are then destroyed by special while blood cells. Without normal lymph drainage, fluid can build up in the affected arm or leg, and lymphedema can develop. We are proud to offer lymphedema therapy provided by certified lymphedema therapists with extensive clinical experience.  

Offered at: Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center).

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are common problems that prevent older individuals from participating in recreational activities, self-care and home maintenance. Our therapists create customized programs that address strength, flexibility, posture and balance. These components improve bone density, help with joint mobility, prevent falls and promote an active, healthy lifestyle.​

Offered at: Anderson, Fort Wright, Green Township, Kenwood, Liberty Township, Miami Township, Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center), and Red Bank.  

Pelvic floor therapy 

Pelvic floor rehabilitation treats pain and disorders within the muscles of the pelvis, also known as the pelvic floor. We work with women and men to develop a personalized therapy program to improve the function of muscles that support the bladder, urethra and other organs within the pelvis. Therapy may include pelvic muscle exercises (Kegels), muscle reconditioning, biofeedback, and/or electrical stimulation of muscles.

As women progress through puberty into their childbearing years and beyond, they face unique medical conditions and bone or joint issues that can interfere with daily activities. Examples include pelvic floor dysfunction that can lead to pain and incontinence, low back and hip pain associated with pregnancy, overstretched or weakened muscles after childbirth, fibromyalgia and osteoporosis. Our physical therapists can design a program specifically to help you maintain a strong, healthy body and manage any related health issues you may face.

Offered at: Green Township, Liberty Township, Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center) and Red Bank.

Rehabilitation for general surgical conditions

The effects of surgery can take a significant amount of time for full recovery. Our outpatient physical and occupational therapists offer ongoing therapeutic support for patients who no longer need intensive daily therapy. We work closely with your care team to ensure your recovery stays on track.

Offered at: Green Township, Liberty Township, Miami Township, Montgomery, Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center), and Red Bank.

Speech therapy 

Speech therapy is used to evaluate and treat speech-language issues related to communication, cognitive problems and swallowing disorders. After a stroke, traumatic brain injury or neurological disorder, specific therapy to regain these skills is necessary. The goal is to maximize a patient’s ability to eat, drink, communication and think. We work with each patient and family to complete a comprehensive evaluation and develop realistic rehabilitation goals.

Offered at: Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center).

Spine physical therapy

From surgery for a back or neck problem to loss of function because of a spine condition, our physical therapists design an exercise treatment program to fit your needs. We offer therapies such as ice, heat, electrical stimulation, traction, and manual techniques to restore a healthy spine. With an emphasis on proper posture and body mechanics, core strength, flexibility and stabilization, we help you return to work, sports and everyday activities. Our goal is to provide rehabilitation and education to treat your back and neck and prevent future spine problems. 

Offered at: Anderson, Fort Wright, Green Township, Liberty Township, Red Bank, Miami Township, Montgomery, and Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center).

Our staff is experienced in evaluating and rehabilitating sports injuries. We treat a wide variety of competitive and recreational athletes—from “weekend warriors" who overdo to athletes with a sports injury. Our therapeutic approach helps athletes of all ages effectively treat pain and achieve optimal performance. A comprehensive rehabilitation and strengthening program is essential to ensure full recovery and help prevent further injury.

Stroke rehab

We have developed a special program to maximize functional outcomes for our stroke rehab patients. This comprehensive program offers individualized treatment and education for the stroke survivor using the latest rehabilitation techniques and leading-edge technology. The program incorporates a standardized, interdisciplinary approach to stroke rehabilitation. The primary goal of the program is to prepare the patient for returning home independently or with assistance from a care provider.

Offered at: Anderson, Fort Wright, Liberty Township, Mt. Auburn (Joint & Spine Center) and Montgomery.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) di​sorder assessment and treatment​

Disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be the result of injury to the jaw or muscles of the head and neck, teeth clenching or grinding, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or stress or dislocation of the soft cushion between the ball and socket of the jaw joint. Our therapists can assess your condition and provide treatment options. The goal is to help restore the natural movement of your jaw and decrease your pain.
