Physical Therapy & Occupational Therapy

Following orthopaedic surgery or serious injury, your physician may recommend physical or occupational therapy. The type of therapy you receive at OrthoMaryland depends upon your specific medical concern.

The Physical Therapy Department at OrthoMaryland treats issues associated with large muscle groups, like those in the back, shoulder, ankle and foot. The goal is to help patients increase their strength, endurance and flexibility, as well as correct or fine-tune their posture. When treating injured athletes, OrthoMaryland's team of sports medicine specialists relies on years of on-the-field experience evaluating and treating orthopaedic injuries in various game settings. Through physical therapy, we are committed to helping athletes of all ages and intensity levels regain their strength and return to their previous level of play.

Our Occupational Therapy Department assists patients who, as a result of an orthopaedic injury to the finger, wrist, elbow or hand, must relearn basic living activities, such as eating, dressing and bathing. The department is headed by a licensed occupational therapist with special expertise in orthopaedic hand therapy and upper extremity bracing and splinting.

All OrthoMaryland patients, regardless of the type of therapy they receive, benefit from the latest electrical stimulation, biofeedback, ultrasound and traction methods, as well as state-of-the-art weight machines and cardiovascular exercise equipment.
