What Physical Therapy at Our Practice Involves

Physical therapy is a hands-on, guided service that helps active adults and athletes move, stretch, and strengthen the body under the direction of a trained clinician. Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center offers physical therapy as part of its orthopedic care, working alongside our physicians for patients recovering from an injury, adjusting after surgery, or working to move more comfortably day to day.

This service is appropriate for active adults and athletes of all ages who have been referred for a course of guided exercise and movement work. A visit typically involves an evaluation of how you move, a plan built around your specific goals, and follow-up sessions to track progress.

We do not diagnose conditions or recommend treatment through this page. Any specific question about your body, an injury, or what physical therapy might look like for you is best answered by one of our providers during a visit.

  • Guided, one-on-one movement and strengthening sessions
  • Plans built around your goals and current activity level
  • Coordinated care alongside our orthopedic physicians

What to Expect at a Physical Therapy Visit

Your first physical therapy visit at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center starts with a conversation. Your therapist will ask about your activity level, your goals, and what has brought you in, whether that is recovery after surgery, an ongoing orthopedic concern, or general movement goals.

From there, the visit includes a hands-on evaluation of how you move, stand, and use the area of concern. This helps your therapist build a plan that fits your body and your schedule, not a one-size-fits-all program.

Most patients leave the first visit with a clear sense of what upcoming sessions will look like and how often they are expected to come in. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as you progress.

  • Initial conversation about your goals and history
  • Hands-on movement evaluation
  • A personalized plan reviewed at follow-up visits

Every visit is scheduled with enough time to work through the plan without feeling rushed, and questions about your progress are always welcome.
