Orthopedic PT hero: targeted exercise with therapist guidance

Why our orthopedic PT works

Pain relief is the start—not the finish line. We target mobility, capacity, and control so results hold up in real life.

  • Find and treat the drivers: mobility limits, tissue capacity, and movement patterns.
  • Right dose, right tempo—progress without flare‑ups.
  • Measured checkpoints so you know what’s working.

Our approach: Measure → Train → Move

Measure

Find the drivers with objective tools.

  • Force plate testing (balance, loading symmetry, rate of force)
  • Surface EMG for activation & timing
  • Movement screening & joint angle analysis

Train

Build capacity without flare‑ups.

  • Therapeutic exercise (tempo, range, volume, rest)
  • Motor control & coordination drills
  • Manual therapy & joint mobilization as needed

Move

Return to what matters.

  • Graded exposure to work, sport, and daily tasks
  • Education for self‑management & flare planning
  • Home program with progress tracking (RTM)

Technology that makes your care clearer

We use technology to reduce guesswork and personalize your plan.

  • Force plates quantify balance, loading, and power so we can dose exercise precisely.
  • Surface EMG biofeedback helps retrain activation without over‑recruitment.
  • Computer‑vision joint angles guide form and tempo for safer movement.
  • Remote Therapeutic Monitoring keeps you accountable between visits.

FAQs

Will exercise make my pain worse?

We dose movement to calm, not inflame. You’ll get clear guidelines on what sensations are safe and when to back off.

Do you treat post‑surgical patients?

Yes. We coordinate with your surgeon’s protocol and personalize progressions to your goals.

How do you decide visit frequency?

It depends on goals and training phase. We often start weekly, then taper as you build self‑management with RTM support.

Do you use heat, cold, or other physical agents?

When they help you move better. We combine symptom relief with targeted exercise so relief translates to function.
