LIFELINE - PHYSICAL THERAPY AND PULMONARY REHAB IN ONE
www.lifeline-therapy.com
Many ailments require more than one discipline for optimal recovery. For
nearly two decades, Lifeline Physical Therapy and Pulmonary Rehab has been
offering patients the expertise necessary to treat their heart, lungs and body
without having to seek out three separate care providers.
“When the company was started, its primary focus was pulmonary
rehabilitation. Pulmonary rehabilitation patients require physical therapy
services as well to address musculoskeletal impairments,” said Chris Brehm,
PT, DPT, OCS, owner of Lifeline. “Most of our patients, 80 percent or so, have
a cardiac diagnosis or pulmonary diagnosis and end up doing more than one
of our programs over time. Of course, we also serve patients who may just have
shoulder pain without any other component.”
The company’s small, independent and family-oriented model ensures that
you or your loved one benefits from a personalized atmosphere, where you
know your therapists and they know you.
