Is Orthopedic Physical Therapy Right for Me?
​
​
If you live in Pennsylvania and have trouble moving because of a condition like a joint replacement, a sprain or strain, back pain, or sciatica, and have persistent pain that doesn't seem to be improving over time, orthopedic physical therapy might be right for you.
It helps people of all ages with pain relief and improving the ability to better handle daily activities like walking, getting dressed, and playing with friends or family and things like gardening, golf.
If you have tried self-directed exercises from Dr. Youtube and they haven't been able to provide pain relief or comfort or improvements in mobility, physical therapy should be the next step.
​
Perhaps you've tried pills or injections or a chiropractor and experienced some relief from chronic pain but as the days went on, the pain just returns?
Orthopedic physical therapy typically begins with an evaluation of the individual’s condition and a physical examination to determine the cause of their pain or limitations.
The physical therapist will then develop a customized treatment plan that addresses the individual’s specific needs and goals. This plan may include exercises, manual therapy techniques, modalities such as heat or ice, and the use of assistive devices or braces designed to help individuals regain normal joint function and reduce pain.
​
​
What Type of Exercises Should I Expect from Orthopedic Physical Therapy?

In orthopedic physical therapy, you will do different types of exercises:
-
Stretching: To keep your muscles and joints flexible.
​
-
Strength Training: To make your muscles stronger and support your joints.
​
-
Balance Exercises: To help you stand and walk safely.
​
-
Posture Training: To improve how you stand and sit to reduce pain.
