Every recovery journey looks different, and at Memorial Hospital Biloxi Therapy Center we design care that meets you where you are. Our team offers a range of services to help you move forward with confidence:

✔️ Physical Therapy – Build strength, improve balance, restore mobility, and learn safe ways to move after injury, surgery, or chronic pain. Our therapists provide exercise supervision, education, and techniques like dry needling that may help release stubborn muscle pain.

✔️ Speech Therapy – Support for swallowing difficulties, memory issues, voice concerns, and language barriers. For children, our specialists provide speech assessments and even feeding therapy through SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) certification, making mealtimes less stressful.

✔️ Multidisciplinary Support – Healing is not just physical. Our team includes dietitians, psychologists, social workers, and case managers who provide whole-person care, so patients and families feel supported from every angle.

Whether you are regaining independence after surgery, finding new tools to manage chronic pain, or helping your child with communication or feeding challenges, our therapy center provides the expertise and encouragement to help you take your next step.

Nacho average month! Memorial Hospital Gulfport delivered 200 babies in March, and we are still smiling about it. This is a milestone we have not reached in 34 years, and our Women and Children’s team showed up with the heart, skill, and teamwork that make moments like this possible.

💡 Did You Know?
Speech therapy is not only for kids learning to talk. Adults often need it too.

After a stroke, surgery, or serious illness, everyday things like eating, speaking, or remembering can suddenly feel overwhelming. That is where our speech-language pathologists step in. At Memorial Hospital Biloxi Therapy Center, we help adults with:

🗣️ Voice therapy for changes that make it hard to speak clearly
🥣 Swallowing therapy including VitalStim to support safe eating and drinking
🎥 Outpatient swallow studies (videofluoroscopies) to see what is happening inside while you swallow
🧠 Cognitive therapy to rebuild memory, attention, and problem-solving skills

These services are about more than therapy sessions. They are about restoring confidence and independence in daily life. Whether it is enjoying dinner with family, having a conversation on the phone, or remembering important details, speech therapy can make a difference.

📍 Available at Memorial Hospital Biloxi Therapy Center
