Orthopedic Conditions
When it comes to orthopedic physical therapy, the focus is on caring for your entire musculoskeletal system, which includes your bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, cartilage, and connective tissue. This type of therapy can be used as a primary treatment or in conjunction with other treatments for various musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis, bursitis, frozen shoulder, knee instability, joint pain, limited range of motion, lower back pain, neck pain, plantar fasciitis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. At From the Ground Up, we take a holistic approach to treatment, creating personalized plans and providing education to help prevent future injuries.
Physical therapy following surgery can assist in minimizing pain, enhancing your ability to walk, increasing your flexibility, and preventing the formation of too much scar tissue. It can also aid in restoring your balance, strength, and overall mobility. Many individuals undergo orthopedic physical therapy after procedures like hip or knee replacements, rotator cuff repairs, or neck and back surgeries. From the Ground Up also offers prehabilitation. Prehabilitation focuses on improving overall health and well-being before undergoing a major surgery. It is crucial to address any functional limitations beforehand. A successful prehabilitation program prioritizes the patient, ensuring they are at the center of their perioperative experience
Postoperative
Return to Sport/Exercise Programs
Physical therapy is a valuable resource for both athletes and those who engage in recreational exercise. It not only aids in the recovery from injuries but also plays a crucial role in preventing them. Physical therapy is especially important if you have experienced a sprain or strain, are resuming activity post-surgery, or simply want to enhance your athletic performance. Physical therapy is effective in addressing various injuries, including sprains, strains, knee/hip issues, shoulder problems, and concussions. Our licensed physical therapist will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the specific areas that require attention in therapy for your safe return to activity. This assessment can also uncover any underlying factors that may pose a risk of injury and provide guidance for your therapy sessions going forward. We will also conduct a thorough examination of your movement patterns to check for any faulty mechanics while running, cutting, jumping, or throwing. Dr. Roarty is experienced in treating running-related injuries and developing postpartum exercise programs.
