Physical therapy enhances mobility, supports post-surgical recovery, and helps prevent further injuries. In some cases, physical therapy can also manage chronic pain stemming from trauma or disease.

Physical therapy incorporates several therapeutic strategies to improve your overall musculoskeletal health. These strategies can include:

• Exercises
• Stretches
• Ultrasound
• Massage
• Heat or ice therapy
• Electrical stimulation

Girard Orthopaedic Surgeons Medical Group, Inc. provides physical therapy on-site to support your recovery from injury, disease, or surgery. The skilled physical therapists work closely with you to identify your needs and improve the overall function of your muscles and joints.

Our Approach

What to Expect During Physical Therapy

At your initial physical therapy session, your therapist will complete a comprehensive assessment of your:

• Strength
• Flexibility
• Balance
• Coordination
• Range of Motion

Based on this evaluation, we tailor a physical therapy plan to your needs and capabilities. Our therapists guide you through exercises targeting specific muscles and joints to improve strength and flexibility, incorporating additional treatments like heat or ice therapy to reduce inflammation and pain, electrical stimulation to relax tight muscles and reduce joint discomfort, and massages to improve your flexibility and increase blood circulation.

Personalized Care for Optimal Recovery

The number of physical therapy sessions you’ll need will depend on your condition and your progress through each session. Our physical therapists work closely with you to adjust each session, maximizing your results and supporting your complete recovery.

We also provide home exercise recommendations to maintain your strength and help prevent further injuries.
