The assessment and treatment of diseases, conditions, and injuries involving the muscles, bones, ligaments, fascia, and tendons of the musculoskeletal system is known as orthopedic physical therapy. Your therapist at Helm PT is skilled at helping patients with a variety of orthopedic problems, ranging from ligament sprains to muscle strains, bone fractures to joint misalignments, and from acute orthopedic injuries to chronic pain syndromes. Other common conditions we can help you with include osteoarthritis, tendonitis, frozen shoulder syndrome, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, rheumatoid arthritis, and postoperative conditions such as a total joint replacements, rotator cuff repairs, and knee arthroscopies. Even if your problem has been plaguing you for a long time and others have given up on you, we can help by applying skilled manual therapy techniques and thinking outside the restrictive box that is characteristic of the traditional medical model.
Your orthopedic problem will be examined thoroughly and carefully, with a full assessment of your joint range of motion, muscle strength, swelling distribution, neuromuscular control, proprioceptive response, and compensatory movement patterns. Your treatment will be tailored to your specific needs, keeping your personal lifestyle patterns and treatment goals at the forefront of care so you can still enjoy doing the things you love while you heal.
