Orthopedic Rehabilitation

What is orthopedic rehabilitation?

Beaumont’s orthopedic physical and occupational therapy services consist of a specially educated team of clinicians who will work with you to address any orthopedic dysfunctions that interfere with your ability to perform everyday tasks or compete at the highest level of sports.

Beaumont therapists perform a complete biomechanical musculoskeletal examination to determine any movement impairments causing your injury or performance deficits. Manual, hands-on techniques are integrated with customized, functionally progressive exercise programs for the core and extremities. The goal of orthopedic rehabilitation is to return you to your optimal functional level.

Types of orthopedic rehabilitation

Activities of daily living

Activities of daily living are tasks that are meaningful and necessary to complete every day. The goal of this targeted therapy is to improve the performance of these tasks that have been limited due to an orthopedic injury or condition.

Foot and ankle therapy

Therapy targeting your foot or ankle conditions will focus on addressing any movement deficiencies identified during a functional analysis of the foot/ankle and entire lower extremity. Treatment is aimed at restoring your foot/ankle motion, strength and function.

Knee therapy

Knee therapy focuses on customized exercises and manual therapy to address your needs and functional limitations. The interventions are adjusted and progressed based on your feedback and response. The ultimate goal of knee therapy is to help you regain the functional ability to perform the activities required by your lifestyle and to meet the demands of your environment.

Pilates

Using Pilates principles and exercise techniques can help your physical therapist address your overall total body alignment, flexibility, posture, balance, strength and endurance by utilizing mind-body exercise. These exercises focus on core stability, including pelvic and shoulder girdle stabilization, and neutral spinal alignment synchronized with awareness of proper breathing techniques. The goal is a balanced body that allows you to function at your optimal ability during day-to-day activities and promotes peak sports performance.

Schroth method

The Schroth method is a specific style of treatment for scoliosis—the curvature of the spine. This type of therapy will help you strengthen deep, stabilizing muscles that function to support your spine and improve your tolerance of holding your spine in a tall posture. Schroth trained physical therapists will teach you exercises to build the necessary muscles to attempt to slow the progression of your unique spinal curvature to improve your everyday function while reducing pain.

Shoulder

Shoulder physical therapy is structured around improving the use and functioning of your shoulder and upper body after an injury or surgery. Your treatments will focus on increasing your motion and strength, as well as improving your daily movements to resume your regular activities. Your therapist will adjust interventions based upon your response to treatment and your feedback in each session.

Spinal

Spinal physical therapy will consist of a comprehensive examination to develop a customized multi-faceted treatment plan. This plan will incorporate both manual therapy and functional exercise aimed at meeting your goals. The clinical care provided to you may include:

Instruction in research-based core exercises.
Manual therapy, such as joint and soft-tissue mobilization to restore normal spinal mobility.
Postural and neuromuscular re-education training.
Soft-tissue and muscle-lengthening techniques to correct muscle imbalances.
Physical therapy modalities for pain management.
