Many people think of physical therapy as being only for sports injuries or perhaps for the frail who have taken a fall and broken a hip. However, did you know that physical therapists can treat people of all ages? And that we treat patients for all different types of conditions?
At Functional Phyzio Physical Therapy & Performance in Durham, NC, we specialize in treating patients who have orthopedic or pelvic floor concerns.
Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Orthopedic physical therapy refers to any injury that has to do with the muskuloskeltal system such as:
-
Lower back pain
-
Hip pain
-
Knee pain
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Achilles tendonitis
-
Neck pain
-
Shoulder pain
-
ACL or meniscus sprains
-
Ankle sprains
-
Total joint replacements
The main goal of your physical therapy evaluation will be to pinpoint the root cause of your pain. This is critical in providing you with long term relief. Check out our blog The Ultimate Guide to Orthopedic Physical Therapy to learn more!
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

-
Urinary incontinence (leaking urine)

Fecal incontinence (leaking stool)

Who we treat
At Functional Phyzio, we specialize in treating active adults with orthopedic and pelvic floor concerns. Many patients who come in are very active in CrossFit, OrangeTheory, or the many other fitness opportunities Durham has to offer. We want to keep you active in your fitness journey! If you are an active adult and looking for physical therapy in Durham, you want to make sure to find a place that understands your goals so that you can get back to all the activities you love!
The Out-of-Network Model
An important thing to note here is that if you do indeed have athletic goals, a physical therapy clinic that works with insurance will not always be able to address those higher-level activities such as weightlifting, running, etc. due to the constraints placed on them by insurers. As an out-of-network clinic, we are able to focus exclusively on you and your goals while spending 60 minutes with you at each visit. This is the way physical therapy in Durham, NC should be!
If you are suffering with a nagging injury and looking for physical therapy in Durham, NC,look no further than Functional Phyzio Physical Therapy!
