Physical Therapy : The Road to Recovery

As America becomes more health and work-out conscious, the rate of sports injuries continues to increase. As a result, physical therapy has become an important specialty area of sports medicine. For those facing sports injuries, physical therapy can offer an opportunity to minimize lost playing time and optimize return performance. An integral part of the recovery process, physical therapists can help an individual to restore their activity, strength, and motion following an injury or surgery. The Emory Orthopaedic and Spine Center recognizes the significance of physical therapy among those with sports injuries and therefore provide patients with an onsite physical therapy rehabilitation facility. Physical therapists at the Emory Orthopaedic and Spine Center will tailor a program to fit any patient’s specific needs, teaching a variety of exercises, stretches and techniques in order to help patients make a full recovery and regain optimum function. Whether a patient is a full time professional athlete or simply enjoys physical activity, Emory physical therapists offer the road to fast recovery.
