In orthopedic rehabilitation, physical therapy plays a critical role in the healing process and overall health of patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders, including fractures, joint replacements, ligament injuries, and chronic illnesses like arthritis. Its goal is to restore normal movement patterns, relieve pain, improve muscle strength and joint flexibility, increase mobility, and educate patients on how to avoid future injuries.

In order to effectively identify the disease and develop a customized treatment plan, the process starts with a thorough assessment that includes a thorough medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing. Exercise treatment is essential. It involves strengthening muscles with resistance bands, weights, or bodyweight exercises; improving range of motion and reducing stiffness; improving balance and coordination.

Pain relief, improved circulation, and increased mobility are all greatly enhanced by manual therapy techniques like massage, mobilization, and manipulation. To minimize pain and inflammation, encourage healing, and increase tissue flexibility, a variety of modalities are employed, such as heat, cold, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation. Patient education is essential, including knowledge on good body mechanics, posture, and ergonomics, as well as advice on home exercise routines to ensure continuous success outside of clinical visits. Functional training helps patients restore the capacity to perform everyday actions like walking, climbing stairs, and lifting by focusing on activities that replicate these duties. With specialist care targeted at restoring function and reducing problems, post-operative rehabilitation is designed for patients recovering from orthopedic procedures such as ligament repairs or joint replacements.

• Orthopedic physical therapy can be used to treat acute injuries such as
• Sprains and strains
• Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis

Post-surgical recovery including out of bed mobility, weight bearing and non-weight bearing training (with and without walking aids) for conditions like ACL, MCL, Meniscus tear, fracture fixation
