OUR SERVICES
We strive to help people restore motion, optimize strength, prevent injury and enhance life.
ORTHOPEDICS
Orthopedic rehabilitation is a form of physical therapy that treats a large variety of conditions that affect the skeletal system and the muscular system. Physical therapy is administered through one-on-one care between the therapist and patient.
​
Injuries such as neck and back pain, or shoulder tendinitis, can be treated with orthopedic rehabilitation, along with carpal tunnel syndrome, knee and ankle sprains, and hip pains. Orthopedic rehabilitation is often needed post-surgery to aid in the healing process for patients who have had a spinal fusion, total hip or knee replacement, and ankle reconstructions.
Other conditions that may require surgery in conjunction with orthopedic rehabilitation are complete shoulder replacements, laminectomies, rotator cuff repairs, and meniscectomies.
POST-SURGICAL
Our physical therapists are knowledgeable about surgical procedures and treatment goals and can tailor their efforts to improve your well-being.
After surgery, it is important that therapy is guided by the surgical procedure. The goal of any physical therapy program is to help patients recover as much of their post-operative abilities as possible. Recovery programs will last as long as each patient is in need and will be tailored to fit each persons abilities.
At Recooperation, our physical therapists are knowledgeable about your body’s limitations after surgery and can help ensure a successful outcome. Post-surgical plans may include range of motion exercises to keep joints mobile, strengthening exercises, walking training which includes stairs and curbs, and a home exercise program that the patient can do independently by following written instructions from the therapist.
SPINE DISORDERS
At Recooperation Physical Therapy our therapists treat different musculoskeletal disorders and conditions that affect the spine and limit physical function. Some spine disorders may include Degenerative disc disease, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid arthritis, Sciatica, Spondylolisthesis, Spondylosis, and Whiplash.
Physical therapy includes both passive and active treatments. Passive treatments, such as deep tissue massage, hot and cold therapies, or spinal traction, help to relax you and your body. They’re called passive because you don’t have to actively participate.
If you’re experiencing acute pain, you’ll most likely start with passive treatments as your body heals and/or adjusts to the pain. But the goal of physical therapy is to get into active treatments. These are therapeutic exercises that strengthen your body so that your spine has better support.
SPORTS MEDICINE
Sports injuries are injuries that typically occur while participating in organized sports, competitions, training sessions, or organized fitness activities. The two types of sports injuries are acute traumatic injury or overuse or chronic injury.
​
Our physical therapists provide services to help you develop, restore and maintain movement and functional ability. Our sports medicine rehabilitation plans may involve evaluation, prevention, treatment and focus on performance enhancement.
At Recooperation, our physical therapists will work with your doctor to develop a program to help manage pain so that you can recuperate from your injury. Our goal is to prepare you to get back to your physical activity as quickly and safely as possible. Lastly, we will teach you preventative techniques to avoid future injuries.
