Orthopaedic physical therapy can be life-changing. A skilled physical therapist (PT) can get you back on track with your daily activities after surgery, an injury, accident, or illness.
An orthopaedic PT works to integrate all your other bodily systems — especially your neurological and cardiovascular systems — with your musculoskeletal system to treat your injury or condition appropriately.
Orthopaedic physical therapy involves the care of your entire musculoskeletal system, which includes your:
- bones
- muscles
- ligaments and tendons
- joints
- connective tissue
