At AdventHealth Zephyrhills, we understand that when your hand or wrist is stiff and sore, the simplest daily activities can be tough. It becomes hard to write, work and even hug the people you love, and that can take a toll. That’s why we take a whole-person approach to your care — because we know that easing your mind and lifting your spirits can work wonders along your path to wellness. We care for a range of hand and wrist conditions, including:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Trigger finger
• Soft tissue injury
• Tendon repair
• Arthritis
• Fractures
• Amputation
• Pre-and post-surgical recovery

Treatments can include:

• ROM activities to increased mobility and function of a joint
• Techniques to reduce pain and inflammation

• Fabrication and customization of orthotics including static, static progressive, and dynamic orthotics

Your team will work closely with you to get to the root cause of the problem and build your personalized treatment plan to help you restore mobility and build strength.

Lymphedema is the swelling of one of your body parts. Usually, lymphedema affects your arms or legs and is limited to one limb. However, lymphedema can involve your face, trunk, abdomen or genitals. This condition is the result of an accumulation of protein-rich fluid in your tissues. AdventHealth Zephyrhills designs an outpatient therapy plan to best meet your unique needs. Based on physicians’ recommendations, we offer lymphedema patients a two-part treatment plan that’s proven to have the best results and is also the least invasive.

Treatment - Part One
At AdventHealth Zephyrhills, a licensed Occupational or Physical Therapist will guide you through what’s called Complete Decongestive Therapy. You’ll attend up to five therapy sessions weekly for several weeks, or until your swelling is reduced to its lowest possible level. You’ll then be fitted with a graduated compression garment. Here’s what you can expect during the first treatment stage:

• Meticulous skin care and learning how to do this yourself
• Manual lymphatic drainage
• Bandaging/graduated compression therapy
• Therapeutic exercises

Treatment - Part Two
You’ll now play a bigger role in your self-care. Your therapist will work with you to ensure that you understand how to properly do all of the things outlined in the first treatment phase. This is an important part of the ongoing care you’ll do regularly to manage your lymphedema.

You’ve been independent your whole life and are used to taking care of yourself. When injury or disease step in to your life and make daily activities difficult, count on our occupational therapists to help guide you back to self-sufficiency.

In conjunction with your physician, your occupational therapy team will work with you to relearn skills such as bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding and homemaking. This therapy will also help you relearn how to process information and improve judgment and memory. In addition to these skills, our therapists specialize in hand therapy for those looking to regain dexterity.

Our occupational therapy team can provide the following treatment options:

• Lymphedema Therapy and Edema Management
• Hand Therapy and Custom Splinting
• IADL Program
• Comprehensive, General Condition, and Postoperative Rehabilitation
• Neurological Rehabilitation– Parkinson's, Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury

If you are having problems with your voice or difficulty with communication or memory, the speech and language pathologists at AdventHealth Zephyrhills are here to help you. We will work with you to provide the following treatments:

• Oncology Rehabilitation
• Vocal Cord Dysfunction Therapy
• VitalStim® Therapy Certified - For swallowing disorders
• Comprehensive, General Condition, and Postoperative Rehabilitation
• Neurological Rehabilitation– Parkinson's, Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury

Research suggests that those with Parkinson’s disease should NOT wait until you begin to experience disability, impaired function, or loss of balance to start exercise-based physical and occupational therapy. With more than 20 years of research funded by the National Institute of Health, Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) BIG® is a standardized treatment with documented success.

LSVT BIG® exercise techniques train individuals to use bigger movements to improve and maintain their physical abilities. This treatment encourages individuals to keep moving and to stay active in daily living.

Improvements may include the following:

• Faster walking with bigger steps
• Improved balance
• Increased trunk rotation

Our certified LSVT BIG® therapists will teach you how to avoid inactivity and keep your movements alive.

Rehabilitation for pelvic health focuses on improving the function of your pelvic floor muscles and pelvic girdle. These muscles are essential for supporting your core, bowel, bladder and sexual function. We understand the need for modesty and offer private treatment rooms for complete discretion.
