Physical Therapy...an important part of your optimum health

Western Orthopedics & Sports Medicine and Tailwinds Therapies have formed a collaborative partnership to bring you the best in Physical Therapy services. The convenience of same-site services allows immediate and effective communication between all members of your rehabilitation team and ensures the best care possible. You may contact either provider to arrange services.

Treatment plans are highly individualized and structured specifically for your physical rehabilitation needs. Your physician's clinical evaluation, along with Tailwind Therapies recommendations, will dictate the type of physical therapy most likely to improve your condition.

Therapy might be advised before, after, and in some cases, in place of surgery. Depending upon your condition, your therapy may postpone or eliminate the need for surgery. In every scenario, you play a major role in your recovery

Common forms of physical therapy include:

• Therapeutic exercise
• Neuromuscular re-education
• Manual therapy: mobilization, manipulation, stretching
• Physical and mechanical therapy: ultrasound, electrical stimulation, traction
• Functional training for self-care and home management

As Team Physicians for Colorado Mesa University as well as many other local athletes, our combined plans are used extensively and represent the best the industry offers. Together, we believe that physical rehabilitation plays an essential part in the recovery process for patients suffering from injury and musculoskeletal disorders.
