Orthopedic physical therapists diagnose and treat disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system as well as rehabilitate patients after orthopedic surgery. This type of physical therapy is most often found in out-patient clinics. Orthopedic physical therapists are trained in treating joints, acute sports injuries, arthritis, amputations right after surgery. A few of the modalities used in orthopedic physical therapy are joint mobilizations, strength training, hot/cold packs, and electrical stimulation.[http://physicaltherapy.about.com/od/typesofphysicaltherapy/a/typesofpt.htm] | |||
