Your Top Physical/Occupational Therapists Across MA & RI

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. Without physical therapy, your body will have difficulty regaining the strength, flexibility, and mobility it had prior to your treatment.

    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
    • Ligament sprains or tears
    • Tendonitis
    • Muscle strains
    • Post-operative conditions
    • Tennis elbow
    • Plantar fasciitis
    • Herniated discs
    • Bursitis
    • Arthritic hands, hips, knees, shoulders
    • Finger, hand, and wrist arthritis or injuries
    • Lower back pain
    • And more.

    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.

    Do you accept insurance for physical therapy services?

    At Prima CARE, we’re proud to accept insurance from a number of providers across the New England region, including for physical therapy services. If you have questions about your coverage or payment options, please feel free to reach out to our office staff.

    How can I get started with the best physical therapy near me?

    At Prima CARE, we make it easy to get started with the top physical therapy staff in the Fall River area.  Just ask your Primary Care Provider or medical specialist for a referral and we will be able to schedule your appointment without delay.

    How Long Will I Need Physical Therapy?

    It depends on your condition, your goals and how you respond to treatment. At your first visit, your therapist will evaluate you and create a plan, then check your progress regularly and adjust it as you improve.

    What Is A Certified Hand Therapist?

    A Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) is an occupational or physical therapist with advanced training and certification in treating the hand, wrist, elbow and arm. Our CHT, Brenda Cabral, OT-CHT, helps patients recover after hand surgery, fractures, tendon injuries and conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.

    What Should I Wear To Physical Therapy?

    Wear comfortable, loose clothing and supportive sneakers so you can move freely. If we are treating your knee or shoulder, shorts or a tank top can make it easier for your therapist to examine and treat the area.
