USC Physical Therapy specializes in all types of orthopedic disorders, ranging from pain to weakness to stiffness and instability.
Our physical therapy treatments are in line with current practices and research and incorporate many different types of physical therapy, including hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic and functional exercise training, and movement retraining and pain management techniques.
Our clinics work comprehensively with USC Orthopedic Surgery, as well other major medical and orthopedic groups in the Greater Los Angeles area.
Every patient undergoes a thorough evaluation and physical examination conducted by one of our licensed physical therapists. A detailed physical examination and review of your medical history allows us to create a personalized plan of care for you based on your condition, goals and schedule.
Once your examination and evaluation have been completed, your therapist will help you understand your specific problem and explain your diagnosis and treatment plan.
