The Physical and Occupational Therapists at Orthopaedic Institute of Ohio work with both non-operative and post-operative patients. Our team’s extensive experience ensures all our patients receive the personalized care necessary to restore their function and improve their quality of life. Therapy is also available in Lima through the Institute for Orthopaedic Surgery.

When an injury or painful condition prevents you from participating in activities you enjoy, physical and occupational therapy may be a part of your treatment protocol. These programs are designed to restore your strength, range of motion, and ability to complete daily tasks so that you can live independently and with minimal pain. In some cases, the therapies are prescribed after surgery to help you recover quicker and more thoroughly. Other times, they may be recommended in place of surgery, to restore mobility without the need for an operation.

In addition to helping you return to your original level of activity; our therapists will advise you on lifestyle changes that promote healing and prevent further injury. The physical therapy unit treats nonoperative patients for back pain, ankle injuries and muscular sprains. The staff also works with post-operative patients for knee and shoulder rehabilitation. They also provide rehabilitation services for patients that have undergone total knee and hip replacements. Whatever your ailment or affected body part our team approach is sure to care for you from start to finish. We work closely with your team of physicians and PAs to optimize your recovery time.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is designed to help patients do the things they need and want to do with treatment targeted to those activities. Our occupational therapists work on strengthening the upper body, allowing patients to perform daily tasks that will enable them to operate independently. In some cases, special equipment or alternative methods may be recommended to accommodate injuries or medical conditions. In addition to overcoming physical disability, occupational therapists can also help those that have suffered a brain injury or severe mental illness.

Benefits of Occupational Therapy

There are numerous potential benefits of incorporating occupational therapy into your program:

  • Strengthen muscles used for daily activities
  • Relearn basic home-making activities
  • Improve physical function in frailer adults
  • Train adults with mental decline in social and life skills
  • Recommend modifications in the home for greater function
  • Help adults remain independent for as long as possible
