Columbia Orthopaedics Sports Therapy is a progressive physical therapy facility which specializes in the care and rehabilitation of orthopedic and sports-related injuries.  Each patient is prescribed an individualized and customized treatment program.  We utilize any and all types of exercise, modalities and manual techniques necessary to achieve the desired goals.  Our programs are based upon the results of a comprehensive biomechanical evaluation which is performed by licensed physical therapists.  This enables us to treat the source of the problem instead of the symptoms.  Addressing the problem at its source helps ensure that the risk of recurrence is greatly minimized.

A functional approach is applied to the rehabilitation of all patients to promote a rapid return to full functional activities.  We emphasize the restoration of normal mechanics and motor control.  Our primary goal is to return the patient to full activity as soon as possible.  The patient assumes an active role in their rehabilitation thereby easing the transition back to a normal level of activity.  Education is also a key component of our facility as we teach patients how to care for and maintain their health and their injuries.  This has dramatically reduced the incidence of re-injury and has accelerated their recovery.

Columbia Orthopaedics Sports Therapy is a functionally oriented facility designed to return patients to their normal lives in as little time as possible.

Some of the conditions we commonly see are:
sports injuries ligament tears
rotator cuff injuries tendonitis
knee pain tendon ruptures
shoulder pain tennis elbow
neck and low back pain heel spurs
overuse syndromes postural malalignment
ankle sprains bursitis
muscle pulls post-surgical rehabilitation
