Rehabilitation Services

Rebuilding strength after an injury or surgery can be tough when lifting heavy weights is not an option. Blood Flow Restriction Therapy is an outpatient rehabilitation therapy that helps you gain muscle without the heavy strain.

Your therapist will place a special computerized cuff around your arm or leg while you do simple, low-intensity exercises. This band gently slows blood flow to the area, which signals your body to build muscle with very light effort.

Your therapist will guide you through each movement to make sure you are safe and comfortable the entire time. This approach allows you to safely regain your strength much earlier in your recovery.

Returning home after a hospital stay for a brain injury is a major step forward, but new challenges with memory, speaking, or walking can make your daily routine feel overwhelming. Our outpatient brain injury therapy is designed to smoothly continue your recovery journey and help you safely regain your independence.

Your specialized therapist will pick up right where your hospital care left off, carefully evaluating your physical strength, balance, and communication. Based on the unique challenges you are facing now that you are home, they will build a personalized plan to retrain your brain and body to work smoothly again.

Using targeted exercises and hands-on guidance, your therapist will help you rebuild your muscles and relearn essential everyday skills. Whether your goal is to walk steadily, speak clearly with your family, or safely take care of yourself, continuing your rehabilitation therapy journey will help you maximize your recovery.

Muscle pain and stiffness can hold you back and make it hard to move through your day. Cupping therapy is a rehabilitation therapy technique that uses gentle suction to lift your skin and tissue, bringing fresh blood flow to painful, restricted areas.

Your therapist uses this targeted approach to release deep muscle tension and break down tight scar tissue. By freeing up these stubborn spots, it becomes much easier for you to stretch, exercise, and regain your normal range of motion without pain getting in the way.

While the suction may leave temporary circular marks on your skin, it is a safe way to jumpstart your body's healing process. With your muscles finally loosened up, you can successfully work through your therapy plan and get back to the active life you enjoy.

Getting behind the wheel gives you independence, but a recent illness, injury, or natural aging can make driving feel stressful or unsafe. Our outpatient Driving Evaluations, exclusively at our Baptist Health Therapy Center-BHRI Little Rock location, are designed to help you and your family know for sure if you are ready to confidently hit the road again.

You will work directly with an occupational therapist who is also an ADED Certified Driving Rehabilitation Specialist. He will test your vision, thinking skills, and physical reflexes in the clinic and discuss your goals with you and your family. Next, he will take you for a comfortable, behind-the-wheel assessment in a specially equipped training vehicle.

He will also look to see if adaptive equipment, like custom hand controls, could make driving easier in your own car. If you need them, he provides hands-on training sessions so you can learn exactly how to use your new tools. He will guide you through the entire process and create a clear plan to help you safely regain your independence.

Tight muscle knots can cause deep, nagging pain that normal stretching or massage just cannot seem to reach. Dry needling is a highly effective, medicine-free outpatient rehabilitation therapy that targets these stubborn spots to help you find relief.

Your therapist will carefully guide an ultra-thin, sterile needle directly into the tightest part of your muscle. We may also add a gentle electrical pulse to help the muscle relax even further. This precise step signals the knot to release its tension, bringing in fresh blood flow to jumpstart your healing.

We will explain everything as we go to make sure you feel completely safe and comfortable. By relaxing those deep muscles, we can ease your pain and make it much easier for you to move freely again.

Feeling unsteady on your feet can make you afraid to leave the house or enjoy your normal routine. Our outpatient Fall Prevention and Balance Training is designed to help you conquer that fear and stay safely on your feet.

Playing a great round of golf is frustrating when pain or stiffness keeps you from swinging your best.

You will work directly with a physical therapist who holds a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Medical Level 2 Certification to carefully check your posture, balance, and flexibility. He will use a special screening to look at the exact movements needed for an efficient golf swing, helping us find any physical limits holding you back.

You will work directly with a certified lymphedema therapist to create a personalized plan to significantly reduce your swelling and keep it down. Together, we will work to bring the affected area back to a normal or near-normal size.
