Our Approach to Orthopedic Physical Therapy
At Willow Grove, orthopedic physical therapy is personalized and patient-centered. We begin with a thorough assessment to understand your condition and develop a tailored treatment plan that meets your needs and goals. Treatment plans include:
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and myofascial release to reduce pain and improve mobility.
- Therapeutic Exercises: Customized exercise programs to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance joint stability. These exercises are designed to promote healing and prevent future injuries.
- Pain Management: Electrical stimulation and heat/cold therapy alleviate pain and inflammation.
- Functional Training: Exercises that simulate daily activities to help you regain independence and improve your ability to perform everyday tasks.
- Education and Prevention: Guidance on proper body mechanics, posture, and ergonomics to prevent re-injury. We also provide strategies for managing chronic conditions and maintaining long-term health.
With extensive experience in orthopedic physical therapy, our therapists are committed to helping you achieve your health and wellness goals.
