What Is Orthopedic Physical Therapy?

Orthopedic physical therapy (PT) is a specialized, hands-on treatment approach designed to restore strength, movement and flexibility. It’s ideal for patients recovering from surgery or injury or managing long-term conditions like arthritis or chronic pain.

Our licensed therapists specialize in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, helping you create individualized treatment plans tailored to your recovery goals. Whether you’re recovering after an ACL repair, managing chronic back pain, or simply improving athletic performance, our expert team of physical therapists will be by your side every step of the way.
