What do Orthopedic Physical Therapists do?

Orthopedic physical therapists specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, including muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. 

They employ various techniques, including targeted exercises, manual therapy, massage, heat/cold therapy, and electrical stimulation, to restore strength, flexibility, and mobility, reduce pain, and enhance the overall function and quality of life for their patients.  

What They Treat

Orthopedic physical therapists address a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, such as: 

Injuries: Sprains, strains, fractures, and chronic injuries from overuse. 

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Helping patients recover from procedures like joint replacements or other orthopedic surgeries. 

Chronic Conditions: Arthritis, chronic neck and back pain, and other long-term musculoskeletal dysfunctions. 

Functional Limitations: Difficulty with daily activities due to pain or dysfunction in areas like the shoulder, hip, knee, or foot. 

How They Treat

A customized treatment plan often includes a combination of the following: 

Manual Therapy: Techniques such as joint mobilization, manipulation, and soft tissue massage to improve mobility and flexibility. 

Therapeutic Exercise: Targeted exercises and stretches to build strength, endurance, and balance. 

Modalities: Using tools like heat and ice packs (cryotherapy), ultrasound, or electrical stimulation to reduce pain and promote healing. 

Education: Guiding patients on how to manage their condition at home, including specific exercises and strategies to prevent future injuries.

Prevent Further Injury: Provide guidance and exercises to reduce the risk of re-injury.
