Physical Therapy
Relieve Pain, Restore Function, Improve Mobility for Better Quality of Life.
Physical therapy is an important part of the rehabilitation process following an injury or surgical procedure. For patients who have been immobilized and lack flexibility, strength, endurance, or motor function, a skilled therapist can provide targeted exercises and treatments designed to return you to your pre-injury state — or help you come back even stronger than before. Physical therapy can also reduce or even eliminate the need for unnecessary pain medication, surgery, or additional imaging.
Our Approach
At Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush (MOR), physical therapists and physicians work collaboratively to help you relieve pain and achieve your rehabilitation goals. The process begins with an examination of your medical history, followed by measurements of strength, range of motion, balance and coordination, posture, muscle performance, respiration, and motor function. Based on the results of these tests and your individual goals, the physical therapist develops a comprehensive treatment plan for you. Rehabbing from an injury can be a challenging and frustrating experience, so our approach combines expertise with empathy to help you stay motivated and see tangible results.
Here for Every Step of Your Recovery Journey
After laying out a path to recovery, your MOR therapists help you progress from one milestone to the next. You’ll receive a personalized regimen, starting with exercises that increase flexibility and range of motion before advancing to movements that build strength, balance, coordination, and endurance — all with hands-on instruction in an encouraging, supportive environment.
Physical therapists at MOR use treatments like electrical stimulation, deep tissue massage, and ultrasound to relieve pain and reduce swelling. During the course of treatment, therapists continually document your progress, conduct periodic examinations, and make modifications when necessary. From therapists to physicians, our team’s ultimate goal is to help you regain the strength and confidence you need for work and for life.
