Physical Therapy

The Tennessee Orthopedics Physical Therapy service provides optimal rehabilitation programs for sprain / strains, fractures, arthroscopic procedures, joint replacements, and surgery.  Our patients are educated in a functional approach toward their therapy.  Our goals are to focus on maximum functional recovery and to educate the patient in how to manage their recovery and prevent re-injury.

The Physical Therapy staff is committed to providing comprehensive rehabilitative care.  Our therapists and staff work together to optimize each patient’s functional potential.  We design exercise programs to enhance our patients' return to function.

Effective Patient / Therapist communication helps in the recovery process.  Additionally, awareness and communication of posture and any stressors (physical and/or emotional) throughout the day can assist in each patient’s healing process.
