Why choose to see a FemFirstHealth Orthopedic Physical Therapist?

It is really important to find the driver of your pain and address the root cause.

At FemFirstHealth, we can help you figure out why you experienced the pain in the first place.

Besides a specific trauma or event, each phase of a woman’s lifecycle can also contribute to specific orthopedic conditions.

We can make the proper modifications to get you back to functioning properly and exercise. 

Exercise

An important part of any successful orthopedic physical therapy treatment plan is exercise and stretching.

Exercises during an orthopedic physical therapy session may include:

• Strength training

• Stretches and flexibility training

• Stretching to improve range of motion

• Balance and core training

• Mobility exercises

An orthopedic physical therapist can teach their patients what the right exercises are to treat their specific condition.

These exercises can help regain mobility after an injury or surgery, and the same exercises done at the office can be applied at home too.
