Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Orthopedic Physical Therapy is the core of our practice and represents the majority of the services we offer. Physical Therapy, provided by a licensed Physical Therapist (PT), is a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular dysfunction. Physical Therapists specialize in anatomy and physiology and are experts in understanding how movement, posture, and function affect the wellness of an individual.
What is Orthopedic Physical Therapy?
It is normal for our bodies to need healing hands and coaching to get the most out of life. Physical Therapy often helps by means of non-invasive treatment of orthopedic conditions that can cause pain, decreased strength, decreased range of motion, or swelling. Our physical therapists are orthopedic specialists and experts in the evaluation, diagnosis, management, and treatment of injuries and disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons). Through the development of a goal-oriented, hands-on, and individualized treatment plan, our goal is to help return you to your daily living activities and previous level of function.
