Physical Therapy at UOA
Physical therapy is an essential step in treating and recovering from musculoskeletal injuries and many forms of surgery. It is the branch of rehabilitative medicine that focuses on helping patients regain or improve their strength, range of motion, flexibility, function and decrease physical impairments.
Physical therapy is often a primary treatment option for various orthopaedic conditions, offering a non-invasive approach to managing symptoms and promoting mobility. It is also an integral component of recovering from a large number of surgeries. Our physical therapists will perform a thorough evaluation and design a custom rehabilitation and home program based on your impairments. You will receive one-on-one, hands-on care and be guided professionally through the prehabilitation or rehabilitation process to get you back in motion.
