When you're doing well, fitness and health are often taken for granted. Frustration arises when injury or illness interfere with your ability to work, play or care for your family. If movement and functioning are limited for any reason, fitness and rehabilitation services may be just what you need to get back on track.
The Fitness Center and Rehabilitation Services Department at Blue Ridge Regional Hospital help to rehabilitate health following an injury, facilitate recovery from illness or surgery, and to ensure fitness and wellness throughout your life. We are able to deliver diverse therapies that improve strength, promote healing and build daily living skills. Physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy are provided where you need it: in the hospital, as an outpatient in two locations, or in your home if necessary. Dedicated to promoting fitness and health, we operate a full-service fitness center that's open to everyone in the region we serve.
