Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Orthopedic Physical Therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal conditions, including injuries and disorders affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. The primary goal is to improve mobility, relieve pain, and restore function to individuals who have suffered from injuries or conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system.
OPT improves strength, flexibility, and function, ensuring that patients can return to their daily activities, sports, and work with reduced pain and a lower risk of reinjury.
