Aberdeen Physical Therapy Clinic

After a sports injury or orthopedic surgery, patients recover slowly and must commit to pain management visits and rehabilitation appointments. Rehab goals differ, depending upon the person's condition severity, physical fitness level and age. Older individuals may focus on regaining independence in self-care activities, while young athletes may wish to return to competition as quickly as possible.

Physical Rehabilitation Methods

"...Over the past several years, patients visited physicians for musculoskeletal pain and orthopedic injuries more often than for any other health concern." Rehab clinics help patients with physical therapy treatment, post-surgical wound care, mobility and lifestyle issues.

Aberdeen Physical Therapy focuses on increasing strength, stability, endurance, flexibility, proprioception and functionality using weights, balance equipment, fitness balls, resistance bands and cardiovascular equipment. In addition, physical therapists use various modalities to decrease inflammation, release muscle spasms and reduce stiffness. Patients may undergo electrical stimulation, ultrasound, massage, iontophoresis or heat/ice treatment to decrease symptoms and facilitate healing.
