Physical Therapy & Hand Therapy

Physical Therapy

The Physical Therapy Staff at the Center for Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine work together with the physician’s office as a team to provide exceptional patient care. Our therapists have several years of experience in the field of Physical Therapy, and have made the Center for Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine their home for the past 16 years. We pride ourselves in providing one on one treatment incorporating manual therapy with a functional based exercise approach.

We are well-informed regarding our physicians’ treatment and post-surgical protocols for all orthopedic conditions including but not limited to complicated knee reconstructions; total joint replacements for knee, hip and shoulder; ankle surgeries, and multi-level spine surgeries. Our close professional relationship with all the physicians promotes the “team” approach to orthopedic wellness.

In addition to our professional treatment approach, our facility offers a welcoming, pleasant atmosphere. All staff members interact well as a family. The camaraderie among the group provides a positive treatment environment.
