Physical Therapy, Exercise, Self Care
Physical therapy focuses on gaining maximum movement of the joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the body.
It includes physical manipulation of joints, patient education, and a series of exercises or movements designed to lessen the effects of mobility disorders caused by injury, surgery, overuse, scar tissue, or disease.
The goal of our physical therapists is to help you return to a healthy range of motion so that you can enjoy your life, work, or sports-related hobbies.
Physical therapy helps people:
If you need a cane, splint, or orthotics, Bone & Joint’s physical therapists will help you learn how to use mobility assistant devices confidently and correctly.
Licensed therapists and certified therapy assistants provide patient instruction, manual manipulations, and supervise individualized therapy plans to restore your health and motion.
At your first appointment, your physical therapist will examine your physical condition and assess your movement before developing a customized mobility plan.
Your plan will be reviewed by Bone & Joint’s orthopedic team, which ensures you receive the most up-to-date treatments.
Physical therapy helps:
Bone & Joint’s physical therapy team provides pain management, manual, hands-on manipulation of joints and muscles, scar management, range-of-motion programs, and edema management.
If you are injured on the job, at play, or your movement is limited due to surgery or illness, Bone & Joint’s physical therapists have the training and the expertise to get you back on the job, back in the game, and back to your life.
Surgical procedures such as joint replacements cause stress and strain on other parts of the body during recovery.
For instance, a man who has had his knee replaced will put more pressure on his shoulder, arm, and opposite knee as he moves with crutches or a walker for the first few weeks after surgery.
Pre-surgical physical therapy helps you increase the performance and strength of the supporting muscles and ligaments for the added workload as you recover.
Physical therapy is part of a comprehensive injury prevention program. Our team of sports medicine specialists and physical therapists can design injury prevention plans for athletes based on their sport.
Physical therapy helps athletes prevent injuries by strengthening the muscles supporting the tendons and ligaments needed to boost endurance and performance.
