Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on evaluating and treating pain, movement limitations, and injuries affecting muscles, joints, and connective tissue. A thorough orthopedic exam helps identify the root cause of symptoms—rather than just treating where pain is felt—so treatment is targeted, efficient, and effective.

At Expedition Physical Therapy, orthopedic care begins with a comprehensive orthopedic examination performed 1-on-1 by a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist. Your evaluation looks at joint mobility, strength, movement patterns, and contributing factors to determine what your body needs—whether that’s improving range of motion, building strength, correcting movement mechanics, or a combination of approaches—to help you return to the activities you care about.

• Ongoing joint or muscle pain without a clear diagnosis
