Our Providers Areas of PracticePhysical Therapy
The physical therapy department at Orthopaedic Specialists of CT plays an integral role in patient care. Our skilled therapists provide rehabilitation for preoperative, postoperative and conservative management of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders. The primary objectives of therapy are to promote body strength, function, mobility, and to prevent future injury. Therapists at OSC emphasize one-on-one care and attention with each patient, while working closely with the referring physician.
OSC patients enjoy personal attention while rehabilitating in a friendly, comfortable atmosphere. Our primary goal is to return our patients to normal, pain-free participation in all their activities.
We remain committed to the American Physical Therapy Association's (APTA) vision:
