Surgery puts you on the road to recovery. We take you the rest of the way.

Today, orthopedic surgery is more advanced than ever, allowing much safer and more effective treatment of a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems. New developments in surgical technique include minimally invasive arthroscopic methods that can reduce scarring, recovery time and postsurgical pain. Yet, even as orthopedic surgery continues to advance, physical therapy is still an important – even essential – part of the recovery process.

Surgery is just the first step to getting back to your life.

The goal of any surgical intervention is to help you get back to leading your life. But physical therapy is very often necessary to facilitate the most complete recovery.. Physical therapy helps improve circulation and oxygen supply for optimal healing, break up scar tissue, restore flexibility, build strength and stamina and protect the integrity of the surgical repair. And the same is true following joint replacement surgery, which also comes with other rehabilitation needs.

We’re committed to your recovery.

At Cornerstone Physical Therapy, our goal is to help you achieve the highest level of function possible. We have worked with many orthopedists who have come to trust our personal dedication and detailed communication as much as our advanced methods, proven therapies and close, personal approach to rehabilitation. And with our unique Cornerstone Methods, we focus on restoring the “natural postures” and proper alignment of the body that are essential to healing, resolving harmful imbalances and avoiding additional musculoskeletal problems.

Here are some of the methods we use to rehabilitate your injury or condition:

• Postural Restoration
• Manual therapy
• Spinal stabilization
• Aquatic therapy
• Electrical stimulation
• Therapeutic ultrasound
• Exercise programs
• Un-weighting program
• Proper footwear & orthotics
• Iontophoresis
• Biofeedback / Surface EMG

Sometimes, the most complete rehabilitation starts before surgery.

Our physical therapists can also work with you prior to surgery to help ensure the success of the procedure. In some cases, flexibility, mobility or range of motion need to be improved prior to surgical repair. Physical therapy can also alleviate certain problems that might complicate the procedure. In other cases, physical therapy prior to a surgery may be able to minimize the scope of the operation or even help you avoid it.
