Therapy = treatments, exercises and education.
OrthoRehab’s approach is different. We integrate disciplines of physical therapy that create a more effective and long-lasting result. Our team of specialists, known across the Twin Cities as experts in physical therapy, start with a thorough evaluation resulting in a physical therapy diagnosis of the underlying causes of muscle, joint and nerve disorders and dysfunction. A specific treatment plan will include manual physical therapy and exercise rehabilitation. Specific treatments and modalities are below.
Manual physical therapy: Manual therapy is a one-on-one, hands-on approach to the evaluation and treatment of soft tissue injuries and joint problems. Manual therapists use their hands to mobilize the joints of your spine and extremities with the goal of restoring normal movement and function to the joints and soft tissues. Examples of manual therapy techniques include joint and tissue mobilization, postural restoration therapy, muscle energy techniques and myofascial release.
Exercise rehabilitation: Research has shown that exercise rehabilitation programs have proven very effective in ensuring rapid recovery for various types of injuries. OrthoRehab believes a program that includes specific stretching, strengthening and stabilizing exercises is essential for improving health, fitness and recovery from injury.
