Its multidisciplinary staff includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, ATCs, certified strength and conditioning coaches, a massage therapist, and speech and language pathologists, as well as clinical psychologists.

Its skilled professionals provide quality rehabilitative care for patients of all ages -- pre-operatively, post-operatively, and/or for conservative management of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.

The Department offers comprehensive services on-site at its main HSS campus, off-site at the Integrative Care Center (ICC), and through its HSS Rehabilitation Network.
