Concord Township, OH, June 28, 2010 - On July 2, 2010, Lake Health Rehabilitation and Wellness will move to Fitworks Fitness Center in Mentor from its current location inside the Heisley Racquet and Fitness Club.

Lake Health Rehabilitation and Wellness provides physical therapy services, with an emphasis on orthopedics and sports medicine, as part of Lake Health’s Orthopedic and Spine Center. Licensed physical therapists treat patients with musculoskeletal conditions, such as injuries from an accident, postural changes from osteoporosis, work-related injuries, stroke-related deficiencies, sports injuries and more.

Located at 9170 Mentor Avenue in the Kmart Plaza, the new space on the ground floor inside Fitworks will offer easy access and close parking for therapy patients along with private treatment rooms to provide privacy. Physical therapists will also have access to brand new, state-of-the-art exercise equipment in 3,000 square feet of space, more than the 2,100 square feet of space they had at the Heisley Racquet and Fitness Club.

"The larger space at Fitworks will allow us to provide a more patient- and family-centered environment for our physical therapy patients, said Lisa Rubin Falkenberg, director of Rehabilitation Services at Lake Health. "When someone needs physical rehabilitation, they look for easy access to the facility, close parking and privacy, all of which we can now provide at our new location."

Lake Health Rehabilitation and Wellness is one of five Lake Health facilities that provides physical therapy services in Lake County. The center is open Monday through Thursday, 7:30 am to 6:30 pm; Friday, 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. Patients can be seen within three days based on patient availability. To schedule a physical therapy appointment at Rehabilitation and Wellness, call 440-352-1200. A physician referral is required.
