EXPERT OCCUPATIONAL & PHYSICAL THERAPY TREATMENT
What To Expect From PT & OT
While both physical and occupational therapy aim to improve your function and mobility, each has a unique focus:
- Physical Therapy (PT) restores strength, flexibility, balance, and overall mobility—especially after injuries, orthopedic surgeries, or musculoskeletal issues.
- Occupational Therapy (OT) helps patients regain the ability to perform daily tasks like dressing, cooking, or returning to work—especially after injury, stroke, or surgery affecting coordination or function.
Our therapists treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Joint pain and arthritis
- Sports injuries and sprains
- Post-surgical recovery
- Work-related injuries
- Repetitive motion disorders
- Neurological or age-related impairments
We believe strongly in conservative care, which means we aim to help you recover with as little disruption as possible. Many patients are able to avoid surgery or reduce their need for medication by committing to a consistent therapy plan. For those who do undergo surgery, therapy plays a critical role in speeding up recovery and ensuring the best outcome possible.
Each therapy plan may include a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, mobility training, posture education, and activity modifications. Our occupational and physical therapy specialists work closely with our physicians to ensure a seamless treatment experience. We’re always tracking your progress and adjusting your plan to keep you moving forward.
When you choose The Center for Bone & Joint Disease for therapy, you're not just getting expert treatment—you’re getting a team that truly cares about your goals. Whether you’re looking to return to work, get back on the field, or simply move through daily life with less pain, we’ll walk that journey with you.
Let us help you feel stronger, move easier, and live better—starting today.
