Orthopedic & Joint Conditions

Conditions We Commonly Treat

We work with a wide range of orthopedic and joint-related problems, including:

  • Shoulder pain, rotator cuff irritation, and impingement
  • Hip and knee pain (including arthritis and mobility limitations)
  • Ankle sprains, instability, and stiffness
  • Wrist, hand, and elbow pain (including tendon irritation)
  • Joint swelling, inflammation, or bursitis
  • Post-fracture stiffness or weakness
  • Pain from overuse, repetitive stress, or sudden injury
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation (e.g., after joint replacement, arthroscopy, ligament/tendon repair, or other orthopedic procedures)

How These Conditions Affect You

Orthopedic and joint problems can limit your ability to lift, climb stairs, reach overhead, kneel, or participate in the activities you enjoy. After surgery, it’s common to experience swelling, weakness, reduced range of motion, and changes in walking or movement patterns. At Farmington Physical Therapy, we focus on restoring the specific movements you need—so you can return to daily life, work demands, and recreation with greater comfort and control.

How We Help

During your visit, your therapist evaluates joint mobility, strength, movement patterns, and surrounding soft tissue to pinpoint what’s contributing to your pain. If you’re post-surgical, we follow your procedure-specific precautions and milestones while progressing you safely through each stage of rehab. You’ll receive a personalized plan designed to restore function and prevent setbacks.

  • Reduce inflammation and discomfort
  • Improve joint stability and range of motion
  • Strengthen supporting muscles
  • Restore functional movement
  • Prevent future flare-ups or injuries
  • Rebuild post-surgical mobility, strength, and confidence

Whether your condition began suddenly, developed over time, or you’re recovering from surgery, we’re here to help you move comfortably and confidently again.
