Whether after a surgery, accident, or illness, our therapists will guide you through a successful recovery of the musculoskeletal system so that you can return to a fulfilling life.
A Focus On the Musculoskeletal System
Supporting the body’s form, stability, and movement, the musculoskeletal system is a major foundation of the human body, and consists of the bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and connective tissues. An injury or pain in any of these areas can affect the entire musculoskeletal system, and severely limit the ability to move or physically function in daily life. Simple tasks such as eating, writing, or driving can be painful or even impossible, making orthopedic physical therapy crucial.
