What Is Orthopedic Rehabilitation?

Orthopedic rehabilitation is a form of treatment that treats a variety of conditions affecting the muscular and skeletal systems.  Often, problems of the muscular skeletal system occur due to an injury.  Orthopedic or musculoskeletal rehabilitation is used to help you regain your strength and mobility after an orthopedic injury or surgery, such as a total knee replacement.  Benefits of orthopedic rehab may include:

  • Regain your strength in the affected area
  • Return to your home and daily tasks
  • Return to sports
  • Reduce healing time
  • Address any pain following orthopedic surgery or injury

Whether your injury is the result of sports or simple overuse from everyday activities, physical therapy is essential to restore strength and mobility.
