Orthopedic injuries affect muscles, bones, and joints. These injuries may be sports related, such as when an athlete pulls a hamstring or sprains an ankle. They may involve a broken bone that needs to be immobilized with the use of a cast. Or they may require surgical repair of a joint. No matter the nature or location of the injury, most orthopedic injuries require time and therapy in order to regain pre-injury abilities. Participating in regular post-operative physical therapy is the way for orthopedic injury patients to regain as much of their preinjury abilities as possible and helps to avoid further injury in the future. Harbor City Physical Therapy is a Melbourne physical therapy office assisting with orthopedic and postoperative care. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Physical therapists providing customized outpatient treatment in Melbourne & Rockledge for orthopedic injuries
Physical therapy is not a one size fits all experience. When a patient with an orthopedic injury comes for a consultation, we will review all of your medical records from your primary physician and surgeon. We will also use our sixty-minute evaluation to determine your current range of motion, to evaluate your level of pain, and to assess your current physical limitations. Depending on your specific injury and prognosis, we will devise an individualized treatment plan to assist you in gaining as close to 100% pre-injury functioning as possible. Treatment modalities may include movement exercises, stretching, heat and cold therapies, electrical stimulation, as well as ‘at home’ exercises.
Physical therapy following surgery or orthopedic treatment can help by:
- Preventing limited mobility due to scar tissue formation
- Retrain muscles and mobility
- Reduces pain
- Avoid reinjury by strengthening muscles
Harbor City Physical Therapy has locations in both Melbourne and Rockledge.

Orthopedic patients may benefit from beginning rehabilitation therapy as soon as physically possible
If you are a referral patient, we will contact you once we receive the notice from your doctor. This initial appointment may be within a few days following your surgery; in some instances, it is even recommended to have a pre-surgery appointment to discuss daily lifestyle needs. Prior to your first appointment, our receptionist will assist you with any health insurance questions or payment concerns. You will also fill out our intake paperwork prior to meeting with your therapist, so that they have a better idea of your needs. All initial evaluations are sixty minutes long with the therapist who can best assist you. Following your evaluation, your therapist will prescribe the number and duration of sessions they recommend to help your injury heal as completely as possible. Our office works with patients of all needs, including pediatrics, elderly care, and persons with both chronic and acute disabilities.
