Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is an important part of sports medicine and orthopedic treatment and recovery plans. At Temple Health, our experienced licensed physical therapists are committed to working closely with you and your treating physician to create a plan that targets your injury and gets you on the road to recovery.

Done properly, physical therapy can improve strength, motion and function limited by different injuries and chronic conditions, including:

• ACL injuries

• Ankle sprains and strains

• Back and neck pain

• Chronic knee pain

• Elbow problems and pain

• Herniated disc

• Joint pain

• Knee problems and pain

• Osteoarthritis

• Runner’s knee and iliotibial band syndrome

• Shoulder pain

• Repetitive motion and overhead injury

A certified physical therapist works closely with you to understand your injury or condition and develop a program tailored to your needs. By closely following your physical therapy program, you may also be able to reduce risk of recurring injuring and pain.

How Long Does Physical Therapy Take?

A physical therapy program can last anywhere from two weeks to several months. Your physical therapist guides you through exercises you can do during therapy sessions and at home to rebuild your strength. Your therapist also demonstrates how you can modify or safely participate in daily activities to relieve pain and reduce your risk of re-injury. Throughout your sessions, your therapists evaluate your progress and update your treating physician on how you are recovering from your injury or managing your condition.
