H2Orthopedic-Finding Relief for Your Knees & Hips

HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP

In many cases, physical therapy can help patients quickly recover from an injury and get back to what they love to do. In doing so, they can stretch, flex and strengthen the muscles responsible for support. If a joint appears deformed, or if sudden swelling occurs, contact a physician immediately. A typical physical therapy session will start with a comprehensive evaluation of your entire lower body, looking for the exact source of your problem. Your physical therapist will customize a treatment plan to address areas of stiffness, weakness, tightness, and pain. On every level, physical therapy serves to enhance the patient’s quality of life. We’re here to help, and we have years of experience backing every therapy option. Contact H2Orthopedic today, and tell us about your symptoms.

HEALTHY RECIPE Jackfruit Pulled Pork Sandwich • 1 Tbsp canola oil • 1 small onion, sliced • 2 garlic cloves, minced

SUCCESS STORIES

For the last 7 or 8 years, like many others getting on in years, I’ve found myself aging not quite as gracefully as I’d hoped for, primarily due to now inoperable back problems. After several years of physical therapy at other Orange County physical therapy locations, my pain management doctor suggested giving H20rthopedic a try. At H2Orthopedic, each aquatic therapy session is done one-on -one in a HEATED pool, designed specifically for physical therapy, thus making your session something to look forward to. I’ve now been using them for several months now and the staff is outstanding, managed by Stefan and Larry. Michele and Carissa, the main aquatic staff, are a delight to work with. Just as important, they push and encourage you but never to the point of unnecessary pain." – W. J.
