to educate you on the risks and benefits of the procedure(s) you need.
Our goal is to help you return to your daily activities as quickly and
safely as possible. We will explain what signs and symptoms to watch for
and what you can do to prevent problems from occurring. Becoming an active
partner in your care will help you develop a partnership with your orthopedic
team and help you become as independent as possible.
Physical Therapy
Our rehabilitation services include
physical therapy as an essential part of the recovery process after orthopedic surgery.
Physical therapists work with patients to develop exercise and rehab programs
customized to their needs. The program includes exercises to improve range
of motion for patients who have had joint replacement surgeries, as well
as strengthening exercises for the muscles surrounding the joint. You
will also be trained in daily-life activities for recovery.
