matoid arthritis. • Experienced a severe trauma to the joint(s). Some inju- ries can only be addressed through surgical treatment, depending on how critical the damage was. • Live with chronic shooting pains. If your pain is con- stantly affecting your daily life and no other treatments have seemed to help, your doctor may suggest surgery. If you believe you may be in need of total joint replacement surgery, it is important to discuss that with your primary phy- sician first. If you have already received total joint replacement surgery, it is likely that your primary physician will refer you to a phys- ical therapist for part of your recovery treatment.

Total joint replacement and physical therapy Physical therapy will be important in the rehabilitation pro- cess after the total joint replacement of your knee or hip. Your physical therapist will provide a treatment plan for you that will assist in restoring your range of motion, flexibility, strength, endurance, and overall mobility of the affected joint. Physical therapy treatments can also benefit you both before AND after your procedure, in order to make sure that your recovery process is as smooth as possible. Your initial appointment will consist of a physical evaluation to determine what course of treatment will be best for your needs. Your physical therapist will create a specialized treat- ment plan based on your evaluation, aimed at rehabilitation and bringing you back to your optimum physical health. At first, your treatment plan will consist of passive physical therapy, which is primarily focused on pain relief and recov- ery. This may include manual therapy, gentle therapeutic ex- ercises, or any other combination of treatment services that your physical therapist deems for your treatment plan. After your passive therapy, you will continue into active phys- ical therapy treatments. These will include strengthening ex- ercises that you will do with the aid of your physical therapist, in addition to at-home treatments that you will do on your own at home. These will all help in making your recovery as quick and comfortable as possible, so your knee or hip can get back to its normal level of function!

Did You Know?... • 79% of all reported high school concussions occur as a result of player to player contact Why is it so important to have a program specific to concussion management? Education of understanding concussions is important. We educate patients and give them the tools they need to recognize when a concussion occurs so they are not putting themselves in potential danger for further injury by continuing to play. A concussion is a bruise on your brain. It affects a person’s performance in any environment. Our program addresses both these areas and monitors the patient’s symptoms so that they are not returning to either before their brain can handle it.

Patient Spotlight
When entering the clinic for my first visit, I was unable to raise my arm high enough to take my coat off and on by myself. It was a huge accomplishment to complete that task independently by the 4th or 5th visit, continued to improve, and was eventually able to graduate wearing my NOPT t-shirt that I pulled on over my head with no assistance.
