What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is a healthcare discipline that focuses on preventing, treating, and managing movement disorders. It involves targeted exercises, manual therapy, and other techniques to help patients regain strength, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. Physical therapy aims to restore normal function, promote healing, and prevent further injury.

At Motion Orthopedic & Podiatry Institute, our physical therapy program is integral to our comprehensive approach to patient care. We work closely with our orthopedic specialists and podiatrists to develop personalized treatment plans that address each patient’s unique needs.

Conditions Treated with Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Post-Surgical Recovery: Physical therapy plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation process following surgery. Whether you’ve had joint replacement, fracture repair, or spinal surgery, our therapists will guide you through exercises designed to promote healing, restore mobility, and build strength in the affected area.
• Sports Injuries: Athletes frequently experience ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and muscle strains. Our physical therapy team is experienced in sports medicine rehabilitation, helping athletes recover from injuries and confidently return to their sport.
• Chronic Pain: Many patients suffer from chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or lower back pain. Physical therapy can help alleviate pain and improve function by strengthening muscles, improving posture, and increasing flexibility.
• Neurological Disorders: Conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease can impair movement and coordination. Physical therapy is essential in helping patients regain balance, strength, and functional mobility.
• Work-Related Injuries: Work-related injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or back injuries, can significantly impact one’s ability to perform daily tasks. Our physical therapists work with patients to address these issues and facilitate a return to work.
• Orthopedic Conditions: Physical therapy can benefit patients with joint pain, tendinitis, bursitis, and other orthopedic conditions by reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and preventing further damage.
• Balance and Gait Disorders: Problems with balance or gait can result from injuries, aging, or neurological conditions. Our physical therapists use targeted exercises to improve coordination, reduce the risk of falls, and restore standard walking patterns.

Our Physical Therapy Services

At Motion Orthopedic & Podiatry Institute, we offer a wide range of physical therapy services designed to meet each patient’s specific needs. Our therapists use manual techniques, therapeutic exercises, and advanced technologies to help patients achieve rehabilitation goals. Here are some of the key services we provide:

• Manual Therapy: This hands-on approach involves joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, and myofascial release. Manual therapy is often used to reduce pain, improve mobility, and increase circulation to the affected area.
• Therapeutic Exercise: Tailored exercise programs are a cornerstone of physical therapy. These exercises strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance coordination. Our therapists work with each patient to create a program that addresses their conditions and goals.
• Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Physical therapy is essential after surgery to ensure a full recovery. We create customized rehabilitation plans that focus on restoring strength, mobility, and function. We aim to help patients return to daily activities as quickly and safely as possible.
• Sports Injury Rehabilitation: Our specialized rehabilitation programs can benefit athletes recovering from sports injuries. These programs are designed to restore strength, flexibility, and endurance while reducing the risk of re-injury. We also offer performance training to help athletes return to their peak condition.
• Balance and Gait Training: We offer targeted exercises to improve stability and coordination for patients with balance issues or gait disorders. Our therapists use proprioceptive training, strengthening exercises, and postural corrections to help patients regain control over their movements.
• Pain Management: Physical therapy is an effective way to manage chronic pain without relying on medication. Our therapists use heat and cold therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and massage therapy to reduce pain and inflammation.
• Functional Training: Our therapists focus on helping patients regain the ability to perform everyday activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, and lifting objects. Functional training is essential for patients recovering from injuries or surgeries affecting their mobility.
• Postural Correction: Poor posture can lead to a variety of musculoskeletal problems, including back, neck, and headache pain. Our physical therapists work with patients to improve posture through exercises that strengthen the core and promote proper alignment.

The Physical Therapy Process

When you begin physical therapy at Motion Orthopedic & Podiatry Institute, our team will guide you through a structured, step-by-step process to ensure the best possible outcome. Here’s what you can expect:

• Initial Evaluation: During your first visit, our physical therapist will thoroughly evaluate your condition. This may include assessing your strength, range of motion, balance, and pain levels. Based on this assessment, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
• Customized Treatment Plan: Your treatment plan will include exercises, manual therapy, and other modalities to promote healing, improve mobility, and alleviate pain. We will work with you to set realistic goals and monitor your progress throughout your treatment.
• Therapy Sessions: Physical therapy sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your condition and treatment plan. During each session, your therapist will guide you through exercises, provide manual therapy, and use other techniques to address your needs. You may also receive home exercises to complement your in-office sessions.
• Ongoing Assessment: We will regularly assess your progress and adjust your therapy plan as needed throughout your treatment. This ensures that you continually progress toward your rehabilitation goals and achieve the best possible outcome.

Rehabilitation and Recovery

The length of time you will need physical therapy depends on the nature of your injury or condition and your overall health and recovery goals. For patients recovering from surgery, physical therapy may last several weeks to several months, depending on the complexity of the procedure. For those with chronic conditions, physical therapy may be ongoing to help manage symptoms and prevent further complications.

Our physical therapists are committed to helping you achieve a full and successful recovery. We understand that rehabilitation is a process, and we will be with you every step of the way, providing support, guidance, and encouragement to help you reach your goals.
