Therapies may include modalities, exercises and manual techniques, in addition to education in body mechanics and posture.

Vestibular Rehabilitation: An innovative program unique to Bayshore, utilizes specially trained therapists employing techniques that aid patients with dizziness and balance deficits hindering their ability to function and ambulate in the community.

Speech Therapy: Highly trained speech-language pathologists provide evaluation and treatment for adults who have speech, language or cognitive impairments, as well as oral-feeding or swallowing disorders. The modified barium swallow study is utilized to evaluate swallow function.
