Orthopedic physical therapy is a practice that focuses on the musculoskeletal system and injuries to ligaments, tendons, muscles, and bones.
If you’re injured – whether from sports, a fall or repetitive stress on ajoint – you could benefit from our orthopedic physical therapy treatment. If you’re considering possible surgery, we can help you build strength toward an improved outcome and recovery.
Scerbo physical therapists will help you build up your flexibility, range of motion, and strength. The treatment is based on workouts and therapeutic modalities designed to get you back on your feet and appreciating life once more.
Therapeutic Exercise Program
Exercise is a very common and non-invasive method of treatment used in a physical therapy setting. Exercise can help to improve a patient’s strength, flexibility and range of motion, and can help a patient regain their functional and mobile independence. Some common exercise treatment programs include:
Exercise is almost always incorporated into a physical therapy program, and usually involves activities that the patient will be instructed to perform at home on their own, in addition to the clinical setting with a therapist.
Many injuries and disorders that we treat are sustained due to overuse, incorrect body mechanics or the unique stresses employed in certain sports, occupations or everyday activities. Scerbo physical therapists are trained to teach patients the underlying causes of these disorders. We routinely discuss, educate and train patients accordingly.
