The role of physical therapy

Physical therapy plays a crucial role in addressing a wide range of conditions, including orthopedic injuries, sports injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, and pre and post-surgical rehabilitation. Our caring physical therapists work closely with patients beginning with an in-depth initial evaluation, including subjective and objective patient information, an understanding of the musculoskeletal impairments, evidence-based practice, and from there design a customized plan of care. We are equipped with specialized equipment like, fitness machines, resistance bikes, and treadmills to mention a few.  

A multimodal approach to physical rehabilitation

At Premier Orthopaedic Associates we use a multimodal treatment approach, by using a combination of skills and techniques to address impairments including therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, ADL training, neuromuscular/proprioceptive training, strength training, return to sport training, biophysical modalities, and electrical stimulation.
