"I'm still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors' orders," he said.

A spokesperson for the senator said legislative work continues during his stay at the recovery center.

"The Senator continues to meet with staff regarding Senate and Kentucky business, including discussions on defense appropriations, foreign policy, the farm bill, constituent services and constituent federal grant requests," the spokesperson said.

"As the Senator continues to improve in rehab, we will be sure to keep you updated."

McConnell's staff also released an official statement from the Office of the Attending Physician detailing his physical therapy regimen.

"Senator McConnell continues his recovery from a fall at home in June," the statement read.

"OAP physicians visit with the Senator every day, discussing all aspects of his rehabilitation care."

The medical team confirmed that McConnell undergoes multiple daily sessions to rebuild physical strength after his discharge from hospital care.

"Since his discharge from hospital care, he has maintained a strenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation, including multiple sessions a day designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls," the statement continued.

"His bout with childhood polio continues to be a significant factor in his mobility.
