Physical Therapy - Knee
​
Physical therapy and occupational therapy play important roles in preventing injuries and in helping a patient’s recovery. At the Michigan Orthopedic Center, our team of highly skilled physical therapists and occupational therapists are dedicated to providing the best care possible and getting you back to doing the things you love.
​
We know it can be hard to squeeze physical therapy into an already hectic day. That’s why we've compiled a set of at-home exercises you can do on your own to help augment your recovery, or prior to surgery to go in as strong as possible.
