The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Johns Hopkins is pleased to present this online guide to our patient care, research and medical education programs.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation are the health care specialties focused on restoring the health and functional abilities of people after acute illness or injury such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, heart surgery, amputation, joint replacement, sports injuries or spinal disorders. Our staff is dedicated to advancing knowledge of effective physical medicine and rehabilitation therapies, and to delivering the best possible patient care. Working together, Johns Hopkins physiatrists, psychologists, nurses, therapists and scientists help our patients return to their highest levels of independent functioning.
