Overview

Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on treating injuries and conditions that affect your muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or healing from an acute injury, VFASP Physical Therapy provides evidence-based care designed to relieve pain, restore strength, and improve movement.

What Makes Orthopedic Physical Therapy Different?

Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on your musculoskeletal system. This includes everything from your bones and muscles to your ligaments, tendons, and joints.

While general physical therapy covers a wide range of physical challenges, orthopedic physical therapy focuses in on specific issues like:

  • Fractures and bone injuries
  • Arthritis and joint problems
  • Tendonitis and ligament sprains
  • Muscle strains and tears
  • Post-surgical recovery needs
  • Chronic conditions like bursitis

Our physical therapists don’t just treat symptoms; they get to the root of your problem using evidence-based techniques and create a personalized treatment plan just for you.
