What is orthopedic & sports rehab?

Orthopedic and sports rehab is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on recovery from musculoskeletal injuries, surgical procedures, and performance-related setbacks. The goal is to reduce pain, improve strength and flexibility, and help patients safely return to the activities they love.

While athletes often benefit from this form of rehab, it’s not just for those on the field. Anyone with joint pain, a repetitive strain injury, or recovering from orthopedic surgery can benefit from this type of targeted rehabilitation.

What conditions are treated with orthopedic & sports rehab?

Orthopedic and sports rehab is commonly used to treat and manage:

• Sprains and strains
• Tendonitis and bursitis
• ACL, MCL, and meniscus injuries
• Rotator cuff tears or impingement
• Shoulder, hip, or knee pain
• Post-surgical recovery, including joint replacements
• Overuse injuries from sports or repetitive motion
• Chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis

Each rehab plan is customized based on your injury, surgical history, physical goals, and activity level. Whether you’re a runner dealing with knee pain or recovering from rotator cuff surgery, your provider will tailor a plan to meet your specific needs.
