Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Orthopedic rehabilitation is a branch of physical therapy focused on the treatment and management of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. Its primary goal is to restore function, improve mobility, alleviate pain, and enhance the quality of life for patients suffering from conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Orthopedic rehabilitation is a critical component of the recovery process for many individuals with musculoskeletal issues. It involves a multidisciplinary approach, often requiring collaboration between orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals to achieve optimal outcomes for patients.
