Physical Therapy
Our team of licensed physical therapists and occupational therapy certified hand therapists understands that each patient has unique rehabilitation needs before or after surgery, or as a result of a medical condition or orthopaedic injury. Our highly trained physical therapy and occupational hand therapy team offers individualized treatment plans to help our patients reach their highest level of independent functioning.
What is the difference between an occupational therapist and a physical therapist?
An occupational therapist helps you with performing day-to-day activities. A physical therapist helps you to get back in motion. In some cases, you may start with a PT to build back your muscle strength, and then switch to an OT.
