Our Colorado Springs physical therapists see a wide range of conditions, and the plan is built around what the exam finds rather than a generic protocol:
A physical therapist's job after spine, shoulder, knee or hip surgery is to follow the surgeon's protocol precisely — moving too fast risks the repair, moving too slowly costs range of motion and strength that is harder to get back later. Our Colorado Springs therapists build the plan around your surgeon's timeline: protecting the repair early, then progressing loading, motion and strength in phases as you're cleared.
The same team also sees orthopedic pain that hasn't reached a surgical decision yet — a stiff shoulder, a knee that catches, a hip that won't loosen up. Physical Therapy and Chiropractic read the same chart in the same building, and Pain Management is under the same roof if the exam points to something rehab alone won't resolve. See shoulder pain and knee pain in Colorado Springs.
Hiking, running, cycling, skiing and gym training all show up in our Colorado Springs clinics as overuse and sports injuries, and the plan is built around what the movement exam finds rather than a generic protocol for the activity. Our therapists progress loading and return-to-activity work in stages, so you're not cleared to go back before the tissue can handle it.
It's the same team that treats sciatica and nerve pain using nerve glides, directional-preference exercise and graded loading, and the approach applies to a training injury the same way it applies to a disc-related one: find the driver, then load around it.
Arthritis and long-standing joint pain don't usually need less activity — they need the right activity. Strengthening the muscles around an arthritic joint can reduce pain and help protect the joint, and that's the basis of our arthritis programs here.
Work injuries and whiplash after a car accident get the same structured approach, with documentation built in from the first visit for your claim, and workers' compensation is accepted for Physical Therapy at every Colorado clinic. If a case turns out to need more than rehab, Pain Management is one door down, not a separate referral.
