These days, with people living longer and more active lives, the number of orthopedic injuries is increasing. Subsequently, the need for physical therapy is also increasing. When that time comes, it is important to seek out a physical therapist skilled in your specific orthopedic condition and at a reputable hospital you trust.

The Methodist Center for Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation has some of the best trained and most experienced physical therapists in the field of sports medicine and orthopedics rehabilitation.

Our treatment techniques are on the leading edge, utilizing progressive programs that are designed to achieve optimal results with physician, patient and physical therapist working as a team toward the goal of full recovery. "Throughout the process, each patient's needs remain the primary focus of the team. We believe physical rehabilitation is an integral part of successful recovery from injuries or surgery," says Natalie Naifeh, PT, The Methodist Hospital. Individual home exercise programs are designed to accompany the physical therapy treatments. Optimal recovery time and outcomes are a direct result of the patient performing prescribed home exercises.

At Methodist, we treat patients from all backgrounds — from high-level athletes, including professional and collegiate, to the soccer mom, her parents and teenage kids. It's not uncommon to see a professional baseball player rehabilitating a shoulder working alongside an elderly client following a knee replacement. "It's a very motivating environment, and everyone encourages each other to progress to the next level," Naifeh says.

Restoration of flexibility, strength, power, endurance and biomechanical function is achieved through the application of accelerated rehabilitation protocols, strengthening/conditioning programs, stabilization programs, manual therapy and various treatment modalities.

At Methodist we combine the best in experience, techniques and technology with a true individual focus to meet your orthopedic needs. It's this approach that draws all types of people, from the weekend warrior to the professional athlete, to our facilities.
