Physical Therapy:
We are proud to announce the opening of our new physical therapy suite, with 4000 square feet to serve you better!
(810) 299-8557Having our own physical therapy program helps our patients in many ways, with the ultimate goal being a faster and better recovery from their orthopedic problem:
- Improved communication between the therapist and physician
- Faster response to problems in rehabilitation of a patient
- Immediate physician availability in case of unique problems
- Better oversight over the entire rehabilitation process
- Specially selected therapists who understand our treatment plan
- Constant quality-control and improvement
Our physical therapy unit has all brand-new, state-of-the-art equipment. Our therapists have a keen understanding of our common goal: your safe return to full activity as quickly as possible. We have worked closely with them to develop appropriate treatment protocols for the specific types of surgeries we perform. Our therapists have many years of experience and have worked with our patients countless times. We specially selected them to come work for us because they have repeatedly demonstrated outstanding quality of care, plus they have great interpersonal skills.
Advanced Orthopedic Specialists - Physical Therapy Equipment In addition to our Cybex equipment, we have also recently acquired a Galileo 2000 vibratory stimulus machine. This is an exciting new technique in rehabilitation of muscle groups, and we are one of the first sites in Michigan to have this device. Studies have shown improvements in muscle strength, reflexes and joint motion. We are currently applying this treatment to selected disorders of the knee, ankle, shoulder, and lower back.
