OGI's physical medicine and rehabilitation staff can handle a wide range of physical therapy procedures and techniques.

Benefits of PT

A wide range of injuries and conditions can benefit from physical therapy, and the benefits extend to most people affected by some sort of muscle, joint or skeletal injury. Physical therapy regiments for the knee, shoulder, back and neck can all help reduce pain and increase mobility. In addition, our team works to develop evidence-based individual therapy programs to address our patient’s needs.

The physical therapists at our offices in Pawtucket, Lincoln, Bristol, RI, and Attleboro, MA work with patients to restore a full range of motion and a return to normal everyday activity after an injury or surgery. Your doctor may recommend physical medicine as a way to strengthen muscles and joints and improve mobility. As opposed to most surgeries, which can be conducted on an outpatient basis, physical therapy is an ongoing process involving many hours of steady work. OGI's PT specialists will help guide you through a series of exercises and strength building activities designed to help recover and restore function lost to surgery or injury.

Occupational Therapists

Similarly, occupational therapists specialize in helping patients accomplish common, everyday tasks after surgery or an injury. While it may not seem like a big deal to pick up the newspaper from the driveway, negotiate a flight of stairs or prepare a meal in the kitchen, these tasks can be made difficult or impossible by surgery, an injury or chronic conditions such as arthritis. Occupational therapists work with patients to understand their new limitations and work past whatever may be slowing them down to restore the ability to live independently. Because of our unique setup, our physical medicine team is able to work side by side with our orthopedic surgeons, creating a well coordinated approach to providing high quality care, based on each individual’s personal needs. Our occupational therapists are also certified to provide custom brace fabrication to assist with quick and maximum recovery from surgery or an injury.
