Physical Therapy
Physical therapy provides skilled, professional services to its patients and is well known and respected for its wound care programs.

In addition to the above, a Spine Clinic and Brace Clinic are held in the Rehabilitation Services Department.

The clinic itself is free of charge; however, fees for service are charged by our orthotist/prothetist.
Occupational Therapy
The occupational therapy department has been expanding with more involvement in establishing activities of living skills and splinting options. Fine motor skills and overall developmental dysfunction are just two major areas that occupational therapy has achieved great success with at Smyth County Community Hospital. Many patients are seen cooperatively by both Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy.
