Outpatient Rehabilitation

Outpatient rehabilitation is a key component of recovery for those with injuries or conditions that affect mobility, function or speech. At The University of Kansas Health System, we offer a complete range of outpatient rehabilitation services. Our programs provide comprehensive, compassionate and customized care to help you reach your goals.

Who needs outpatient rehabilitation?

Outpatient rehabilitation can benefit any individual who needs to improve strength, balance, dizziness, pain, endurance, flexibility, cognition and other deficits. Patients may attend outpatient rehabilitation after a surgery or injury. However, anyone experiencing difficulty with activities may benefit from outpatient rehabilitation.
