Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Orthopedic rehabilitation focuses on treatment of the musculoskeletal system, which includes muscles, ligaments and joints. Treatment is available on an inpatient and outpatient basis from McLaren at locations throughout Michigan.

Your highly skilled physical therapist will thoroughly evaluate your condition, including a complete medical history and an in-depth examination of the problem area. A treatment plan will be tailored to your individual problem with your personal goals in mind. Throughout your treatment regular reassessment will be conducted to ensure that you are progressing towards your goals as set during the initial evaluation.
