Physical Therapy vs. Occupational Therapy

Whereas physical therapy is intended to help you improve movement, strength, and range of motion, occupational therapy is designed to help you improve the fine motor skills needed to perform everyday activities.

Our Patients Say It Best

“I have been coming to OrthoUnited for therapy on my shoulder and then my knee/back recently. In both cases, the therapists have been very knowledgeable, understanding, and were able to explain the what and why in a way that I was able to understand why we were doing the different therapies.”

-Doug H.

“I have been a patient of OrthoUnited for several years and have used a variety of different services within a number of specialties at their clinic: X-rays, CT, MRI scans and other diagnostic testing, physical therapy, and surgery. I have been well served by the Doctors and staff. The techniques used are state of the art and their facilities are excellent.”

-James C.

“Completely professional practice and support staff. I am an RN and have had my second surgery with OrthoUnited physicians. I am impressed how well they predicted the outcomes of my surgery. They supported me very well after-surgery, and in physical therapy, working with me and listening to me, to consider my goals too, not just the typical goals. I no longer have knee pain when I walk, and after several weeks of physical therapy, my back is better than it has been in the last year. I will return there if I have any future needs for ortho.”

-Randy H.

“I have seen 3 different orthopedics and had physical therapy, MRI’s and surgical procedures done at OrthoUnited, along with a few visits to their Express Care. All physicians and staff have been courteous, understanding, knowledgeable and taken great care of me!”

-Heather F.S.

“I’ve been going to OrthoUnited over the years for different things and I always have a pleasant experience. All the staff and doctors are so kind and the facilities are clean. Would recommend this place to anyone!”

-Tracy Y.
