The goal of physical therapy can be to see if you can recover from your symptoms WITHOUT SURGERY, or if surgery is unavoidable, help you return to activity AFTER SURGERY.
Your physical therapist is your key asset to help you accomplish both goals. If you have a knee, hip, back, foot, shoulder or hand problem, Orthopedic Institute has a therapist experienced in that specialty. The physical therapists work closely with the OI physicians to develop rehab protocols that maintain the high standards of treatment that OI is known for in the region.
Our Physical Therapists, all of whom have advanced training are:
- Nationally certified in Physical Therapy
- Licensed by the state of South Dakota

Exercise
For someone suffering arm or leg pain, the mere thought of exercise and movement can be painful. But for you to return to activity, and to relieve symptoms, your therapist will rely heavily on moving the sore joint or limb to restore essential flexibility and range of motion in the joint.
The goal of exercise is to strengthen the muscles outside the “pain zone.” Many people with leg or arm problems can still move the limb through a certain range of motion without pain, or with only mild discomfort. Your therapist will begin your exercise program by working in those zones, which are relatively comfortable, and through these exercises, expand those zones to a wider range.
In summary, your physical therapist at Orthopedic Institute is your partner, and personal trainer, focused on getting you back to activity.
