Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Orthopedic physical therapy focuses primarily on problems from the musculoskeletal system. This branch of physical therapy will work with a patient right after surgery to treat post operative joints. This treatment may be for an acute injury, arthritis, or for an amputation. In order to speed up the process of healing there are many techniques used by an orthopedic physical therapist. Using heat and ice, electrical stimulation, and joint mobilizations will help the patient during recovery. An orthopedic physical therapist will need to know about different types of surgical procedures. From this knowledge the therapist will be able to create a program for the person who has been through this particular type of surgery.
This is a very important part of an orthopedic physical therapists education. Along with a master’s or doctorate degree in the field of physical therapy a person must take classes that enhance their knowledge about this particular type of injury and rehabilitation process. The orthopedic physical therapist will come up with a unique targeted workout for the patient to rehabilitate the muscle that has been injured. These workouts will be designed to help a person enhance or restore functions in the problematic area. If full function cannot be restored the physical therapist will show the patient ways to minimize problems that can occur with their particular problem. The targeted workouts will consist of exercises that will include stretching exercises along with strength and endurance. These will all aid the patient in improving the function of their muscles and increase the quality of their day to day life.
