Physical therapy isn’t just a recommendation your orthopedic specialist may make following your surgery or treatment for an injury. It’s a vital part of your recovery process that ensures your success in restoring your body to full function.

FAQs on Physical Therapy
What are some of the most common orthopedic conditions that require physical therapy?
Physical therapy is incredibly helpful in helping the body heal from damage to the musculoskeletal system. Some of the most common musculoskeletal injuries we provide physical therapy for at Prima CARE include:
- Fractures

Is physical therapy necessary after orthopedic surgery?
Yes. Even though surgery is performed in order to heal your body, the fact remains that surgery is a type of trauma from which your body must heal. Physical therapy after surgery can help you minimize the amount of scar tissue that develops after your procedure, support your joint function and mobility, and prevent your body from losing muscle mass as a result of atrophy. Physical therapy can help you recover more quickly and more effectively from your surgery.
