What is Physical Therapy?
Orthopedic physical therapy is a type of physical therapy that focuses on caring for and rehabilitating bones, joints, muscles and tendons. It is a form of rehabilitation that uses specialized treatments to reduce pain, restore range of motion, build strength and decrease swelling. Orthopedic physical therapy includes exercises, stretches and other treatments to address the specific needs of individual patients in order to maximize their functional outcomes. Physical therapists use manual therapy, therapeutic exercise plans and modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation to improve patient mobility and help them reach their desired level of performance.
