At OIB Ortho, therapists work closely with orthopedic surgeons to create recovery plans that will benefit you in the following ways:

How Physical Therapy Helps Prevent Future Injuries
Physical therapy strengthens muscles and improves movement to reduce injury risk. Our physical therapists assess your movement patterns and muscle imbalances to develop personalized injury-prevention plans.
Strength training, neuromuscular re-education, and flexibility exercises help reinforce proper mechanics for daily activities and sports. We use techniques like kinesiotaping, manual therapy, and core stabilization to provide extra support, especially if you're recovering from a past injury.
What to Expect During Your First Physical Therapy Session
In your first session at OIB Ortho, your physical therapist will focus on understanding your condition and setting a plan for recovery. They’ll start by going over your medical history and symptoms before assessing your movement and any areas of weakness. This evaluation helps guide your treatment approach.
Initial therapy may involve hands-on techniques to improve mobility, gentle exercises to restore movement, or methods to ease pain and swelling. Your therapist will also introduce at-home strategies to support your progress. As you move forward, we can adjust your treatment plan to match your recovery needs.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How Is Manual Therapy Different From Exercise-Based Physical Therapy?
Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue work to ease stiffness and improve mobility. It is especially useful for tight muscles, restricted joints, and post-surgical recovery.
Exercise-based therapy focuses on movement, using strength training and mobility drills to rebuild strength, improve balance, and prevent injuries.
At OIB Ortho, we combine both: manual therapy restores mobility, while exercise-based therapy builds lasting strength and stability.
How Many Physical Therapy Sessions Will I Need?
This varies based on your condition and progress. Some patients recover in a few weeks, while others need therapy for several months. Your therapist will reassess regularly to track improvement.
How Long Does a Typical Physical Therapy Session Last?
Sessions usually range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and the focus of that day’s session.
Do I Need a Referral to Start Physical Therapy at OIB Ortho?
New Jersey allows direct access to physical therapy, but some insurance plans require a referral for coverage. Checking with your provider can help clarify your options.
What Types of Physical Therapy Techniques Are Used for Pain Relief?
Techniques may include manual therapy, joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, blood flow restriction therapy (BFR), kinesiotaping, dry needling, and electrical stimulation. The best approach depends on the type and source of pain.
