Orthopaedic Associates of Zanesville

Physical Therapy

Physical therapists (PT) are licensed health care professionals who offer cost-effective treatments that improve mobility and pain, and reduce the need for surgery and/or prescription drugs. Our team is trained to improve your motion, strength and function. Pain-free movement is crucial to your quality of daily life, your ability to pursue your favorite leisure activities, and much more.

Our Physical Therapy department works collaboratively with our patients and on-site physicians as well as referring physicians to help individualize each patient’s individual goals, challenges, and needs. Receiving treatment by a physical therapist and participating in your own recovery can be empowering.

Our team prioritizes working with a consistent P.T./PTA throughout treatments to provide exceptional care. At Orthopaedic Associates of Zanesville, we strive and are committed to get you back to the things you enjoy!
