What is orthopedic PT?
Restoring strength, motion & independence
Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on the treatment and rehabilitation of injuries to the muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. It addresses pain, reduced strength, limited range of motion, and swelling — restoring function and long-term independence through personalized care.
