What Is Orthopedic Physical Therapy?
Orthopedic physical therapy treats conditions affecting the muscles, joints, bones, tendons, and ligaments to reduce pain and restore strength, mobility, and function.
At Posture Studio, we look beyond your symptoms to identify movement patterns and other factors that may be contributing to your pain. Treatment may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, movement retraining, and education to help you return to the activities you enjoy.
When Should You See an Orthopedic Physical Therapist?
Persistent or recurring pain in the neck, back, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, or feet
Joint stiffness, limited range of motion, or difficulty moving normally
Muscle strains, ligament sprains, or tendon injuries
Postural imbalances or movement asymmetries
Pain with walking, running, lifting, sitting, or standing
Sports-related injuries or overuse injuries
Work-related or repetitive strain injuries
Pain following a fall, accident, or surgery
Orthopedic physical therapy is appropriate for both acute injuries and long-standing issues. You do not need to be in severe pain to benefit—early evaluation and treatment can often prevent minor problems from becoming chronic or more complex.
You may benefit from orthopedic physical therapy if you are experiencing:
Chronic pain that has not resolved with rest or medication
Weakness, instability, or a feeling that a joint may “give out”
Difficulty returning to activity after an injury
Headaches related to neck or upper-back tension
Jaw pain or facial tension related to posture and movement patterns
Pain that keeps you from exercising, working comfortably, or enjoying daily life
