Orthopaedic Associates of North Texas

Physical Therapy is the branch of medicine devoted to maintaining and restoring each person’s movement and functional ability of the musculoskeletal system. Physical therapy is ordered by Physicians and provided by Physical Therapists, who are healthcare professionals with a master’s or doctorate degree in physical therapy. The Physical Therapist may be assisted by licensed Physical Therapy Assistants (PTA).

The goal of physical therapy is to restore full movement and functionality that may be affected by an injury, disease or age. A treatment plan, customized for each patient, is made by the Physical Therapist and may include:

Functional Assessment
Exercise
Stretching
Massage
Hot, Cold, and/or Electrical Stimulation
Ultrasound
Mechanical Traction
