Upcoming Driveway Closures

We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on Oct. 17-19 and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

Treatments and Services

Each patient will experience a treatment program designed especially for them. By working with the patient to create a unique plan of care physical and/or occupational therapists may provide the following interventions:

  • Walking and balance retraining
  • Wheelchair seating and medical equipment assessment
  • Mobilization techniques
  • Manual therapy
  • Return to sport retraining
  • Range of motion, strengthening, flexibility, and stabilization exercises
  • Body weight supported treadmill training
  • Neuromuscular re-education
  • Splinting
  • Functional mobility and transfer retraining
  • Activities of daily living (ADLs) retraining
  • Contracture management
  • Vestibular rehabilitation
  • Fall prevention 

Inpatient Therapy

Physical and occupational therapists also work with patients while they are in the hospital to help them regain independence and function. They can also help in making sure the patient goes to a safe setting when they are ready to leave the hospital. This could be home, but could also be to a non-hospital setting that helps with physical therapy.
