Tools That Transform Recovery: Inside PHS’s Advanced Physical Therapy Department

Regain Strength, Mobility, and Confidence—Right Here at Home

At Pershing Health System’s Physical Therapy Department, we’re passionate about helping patients recover and thrive after surgery, illness, or injury. Whether you’re regaining your strength after joint replacement, rebuilding balance after a stroke, or recovering from an accident, our team is here with expert care and specialized equipment to support your journey—every step of the way.

Here’s a closer look at the tools that help power recovery at PHS:


Treadmill with Unweighing Harness

This standout device allows patients to safely relearn how to walk by providing partial body-weight support. The unweighing harness system reduces stress on the joints and lowers the risk of falls, making it ideal for patients recovering from strokes, lower-body injuries, or surgeries. It’s a safe, confidence-building way to retrain the body and restore natural walking patterns.


Multi-Station Weight Machine

Our advanced weight machine features seven+ exercise stations designed to target all major muscle groups. From leg presses to chest and shoulder workouts, it allows for a full-body strengthening program tailored to each patient’s recovery needs. It’s an essential part of improving endurance, restoring muscle tone, and preventing future injuries.


Recumbent Bike

This low-impact cardio machine supports heart health while minimizing strain on joints. Its comfortable seated design is especially beneficial for those recovering from knee or hip surgeries, managing arthritis, or needing a gentle introduction to exercise. It encourages steady movement while promoting circulation and stamina.


Seated Elliptical Bike

Combining cycling with an elliptical motion, this equipment provides a smooth, low-impact workout that’s easy on the joints. The seated position offers stability and accessibility for patients with balance issues or reduced strength, making it an excellent tool for gradually rebuilding mobility and endurance.


Parallel Bars

For patients who are relearning how to walk or working on balance, parallel bars are a cornerstone of therapy. This equipment offers physical support and a safe space to practice step training, gait correction, and core stability. It’s especially helpful for those recovering from orthopedic or neurological conditions.


BioDex Balance System

One of the newest additions to our rehab arsenal, the BioDex Balance System offers interactive balance training and assessment tools. It’s equipped with real-time feedback, customizable programs, and data tracking to help patients improve posture, coordination, and core strength. It’s ideal for fall-risk patients, post-surgical recovery, and even athletes returning to form.


Why the Right Equipment Matters

Every piece of technology we use is chosen with a purpose: to help you recover faster, safer, and with greater results. Our therapists develop individualized plans using these tools to meet your specific health goals—whether that means walking independently, returning to work, or simply getting back to doing the things you love.
