UPMC Rehabilitation Institute at UPMC Mercy Pavilion

At UPMC Mercy Pavilion, rehabilitation physicians and researchers – as well as the physical, occupational, and speech therapists with whom they work so closely – will be in a singular, collaborative space to further research and enhance the patient experience. They will provide outpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation services in this cutting-edge, patient-centered facility.

Our Services

Our doctors/physiatrists will provide personalized appointments focusing on enhancing or restoring function for people with various injuries and conditions, including:

  • Amputations
  • Brain injuries
  • Chronic pain
  • Musculoskeletal pain
  • Neurogenic bladder
  • Pelvic and sacroiliac joint pain
  • Psychological conditions
  • Spasticity
  • Spina bifida
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Sports injuries
  • Stroke

Our physical, occupational, and speech therapists will work with you to meet your goals in a state-of-the-art rehabilitation gym, just down the hall from our physician offices.

  • Physical therapy
  • Certified hand therapy
  • Low vision occupational therapy
  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Limb loss therapy
  • Speech therapy
  • Vestibular therapy

Patients who are in inpatient rehabilitation just across the bridge at UPMC Mercy or at another facility may then be referred to outpatient physician services or rehabilitation at the UPMC Mercy Pavilion. Others may come for outpatient services having never been in inpatient rehabilitation. 

The layout of this facility creates a natural flow from one provider to the next to streamline the experience for patients throughout their rehabilitation journey.

PM&R Specialty Clinics and Services

The UPMC Adult Spina Bifida Clinic will be offered one day per week at the Pavilion – we provide coordinated care that often begins by working with pediatric specialists to ensure a smooth transition to adult health care. Our clinic is the only program in western Pennsylvania specializing in the unique medical needs of adults with spina bifida. Learn more.

An assistive technology demo space will be open five days per week – rehab innovation specialist Mitch Bell will be in this space, called Assist+, to demonstrate adaptive technologies, provide community resources, and share information about adaptive sports organizations for patients and their families.
