What is Orthopedic Therapy?

Orthopedic Therapy is a form of physical therapy that aims to improve weakened or injured components within the musculoskeletal system through non-invasive treatments such as exercise and stretching. This type of therapy works with all of the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles throughout the body. Commonly used in sports medicine to improve recovery, orthopedic physical therapy is an important part of post-surgery rehabilitation. Orthopedic therapy also helps ease symptoms of chronic joint or bone ailments such as arthritis.

Ivy Rehab’s physical therapists have expertise in post-surgical rehabilitation, overuse injuries, and inflammation from chronic conditions such as arthritis. Your visit begins with a complete assessment of your current condition so that our skilled clinicians can develop an individualized therapy plan to make the most of your orthopedic rehab.

I love Ivy rehab for kids. Everyone is very sweet and accommodating. They are very patient which is really important to me since my toddler has emotional outbursts and can get aggressive. They are calm, great listeners, and overall just a great staff!

Hadn’t been to Ivy since before they changed names but happy to say that quality of service has only gotten better over time. The front desk is always helpful with any issues you may have, going above and beyond to help you get things resolved. All of the staff is super friendly making you feel right at home. I personally worked with Lydia & to say that she is great is an understatement. No nonsense, very compassionate towards the issues you may be dealing with and overall just pleasant to deal with. Cannot suggest Ivy enough to anybody needing to recover from injuries!

Chris is a wonderful therapist. He took the time to put together a program that was specifically designed to me so I was able to return to a better and stronger version of myself. He is extremely knowledgeable and I would recommend Chris to anyone who needs physical therapy. I felt confident in his care and will return to him in the future. Thank you, Chris!

Therapeutics Unlimited is tje best PT Facility I’ve ever been to. Steve has taken care of and helped to heal our entire family (as we took turns hurting ourselves). He is a gifted and very knowledgeable professional who loves sharing his knowledge with his patients. The staff is kind, fun and so well trained. It will continue to be my PT place of choice by far!

Kelly and Tim were both phenomenal in helping me recover from a shoulder issue. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and provide just the right amount of encouragement while still challenging you to get better. Very patient focused on your individual recovery, and always flexible to helping you in ways that are easy to understand, and willing to go the extra mile to get you better. Cannot recommend enough if you need PT services.

I can't thank Dan enough for helping me regain my mobility and get back to walking without pain! His expertise, care, and personalized approach made all the difference in my recovery. From the very first session, he listened to my concerns and tailored a plan that worked perfectly for me. Each visit, I left feeling stronger and more confident. Dan’s professionalism and dedication to his patients are unmatched, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of physical therapy. Thanks to him, I’m feeling great and pain-free again

'Been attending physical therapy sessions at the Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy location in North Arlington twice weekly for approximately two months. It's a beautifully maintained facility with highly competent and upbeat therapists. Ultimately I will require surgery to wholly fix my back problem, so I didn't expect "noticeable" results. However, I find lately I am requiring far less pain medication as I am experiencing longer periods of relative comfort [a Godsend!] so clearly the results while subtle are REAL. I highly recommend Ivy!
