Orthopedic Conditions
Orthopedic problems generally respond well to rehabilitation. And, rehabilitation helps people get back to work, allow a person to resume daily functioning and be able to get back to other community activities. Home health therapy along with outpatient rehabilitation is almost always appropriate after a bone break, torn ligament, cartilage damage or orthopedic surgery.
Recovery varies depending on many factors. The extent of a person’s condition, age, health and activity all play a role. But in every case, Think-Ability Rehab is equipped to deliver a custom therapy plan that takes all factors into account. The goal is always maximizing function and independence.
With the right treatment and careful rehabilitation planning, a return to full activity is possible – including a chance to return to prior level of functioning.
