Our experienced therapists specialize in the care of orthopaedic patients. We employ manual techniques on anatomical structures to decrease pain and swelling and to increase joint range of motion. Neuromuscular techniques are used to improve balance, coordination, strength and alignment.
SYMPTOMS
Common symptoms and diagnoses appropriate for orthopaedic physical therapy:
- Joint and muscle pain
- Postural dysfunction
- Muscle weakness and imbalances
- Spinal and other joint alignment dysfunction
- Post-operative or inflammatory swelling
- Post fractures
- Post orthopaedic surgery

TREATMENT
All patients receive supervised exercise therapy in our large gym. Our
gym features a complete line of Pilates training equipment as well as
equipment for balance training, posture alignment, gait training, strengthening,
range of motion, and cardiovascular exercises. We also provide manual
therapy techniques as well as electrical and thermal modalities when necessary.
Athletic taping is used with some treatment programs as required. In addition
to on-site treatment, most of our patients are given home programs that
include exercises, posture training, and body mechanics instructions.
