Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Orthopaedic rehabilitation is a program, under the supervision of trained medical professional to help individuals recover from musculoskeletal injuries, surgeries, or conditions that affect the bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons.

Key components often include personalized treatment plans with physical therapy, therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and patient education.
Orthopedic rehabilitation includes techniques such as therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and modalities like heat, cold, and electrical stimulation to restore strength, flexibility, and function, and to manage pain.
