Physical Therapy
Taking Your Recovery a Step Further
Getting you back to a normal and healthy lifestyle after your surgery is
the priority of the Ohio Valley Physical Therapy team. Our licensed physical
therapists and physical therapy assistants collaborate with your surgeon
to provide you with a complete continuum of care. A specialized physical
therapy program will be designed for you to restore mobility, reduce pain,
and increase strength and endurance.
Your physician may also recommend physical therapy following an injury
or for long-term health problems. Our goal is to help patients achieve
their optimal level of physical performance and functional independence.
Our comprehensive outpatient therapy services also include performance
conditioning and therapy for athletes and "weekend warriors"...to
help you get back in the game!
Ohio Valley Surgical Hospital offers a state-of-the-art physical therapy
facility featuring large private treatment rooms and an open functional
performance area. Highly skilled therapists and top-of-the-line technology
and equipment in a modern and beautifully appointed facility, combine
to provide our patients with exceptional care and service.

Bridging the Gap: From Physical Therapy to Full Recovery and Performance
At Ohio Valley Sports Medicine, we offer a particular program to help patients
"bridge the gap" between Physical Therapy and recovery/performance.
After discharge from physical therapy, some patients may not be 100% ready
to return to full function, recreational activities, and sports. Our Bridge
Program offers additional strength training, improvement in range of motion,
and ongoing guidance for patients who have completed their Physical Therapy.
Our goal at Ohio Valley Sports Medicine is to bring patients back to their
full strength, a stronger mental state, and overall improved fitness.
