ABOUT THIS SERVICE

What Is Orthopedic Physical Therapy?

Orthopedic physical therapy treats injuries and conditions of the musculoskeletal system, bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It’s the most common area of physical therapy, combining hands-on care, therapeutic exercise, and education to relieve pain, restore movement, and get you back to the activities you love, often without surgery or medication.
