Physical Therapy in Rochester Hills, Michigan

Comprehensive Physical Therapy for Every Patient

Our physical therapy team provides complete rehabilitation for injuries and surgical recovery. What sets us apart is our team-based approach. Doctors, nurse practitioners, X-ray technicians, physical therapists, and surgical coordinators work together to provide seamless care. We support patients before and after surgery, including pre-operative total knee classes and in-home therapy, with a smooth transition to our outpatient clinic conveniently located in the same building as our surgical center.

Personalized Recovery & Rehabilitation

Our therapists are highly skilled in following the surgical protocols and guidelines established by Dr. Perkins. We help active adults, athletes, and everyday patients restore and maintain movement, strength, and functional ability. Every program is tailored to individual goals, whether returning to competitive sports, recreational activity, or work duties safely. 

Treatment approaches include strengthening and stabilization exercises, joint mobilizations, IASTM, taping techniques, functional dry needling, modalities, and more. 

Physical Therapy for Athletes

We specialize in working with athletes recovering from minor injuries and complex surgical procedures. Our goal is to help athletes return to peak performance safely. We use individualized assessments, athletic testing, injury prevention education, and performance training to restore function. Sports we commonly work with include football, basketball, baseball, soccer, running, swimming, wrestling, gymnastics, and dance. 

Our one-on-one approach focuses on proper form and mechanics, a specialized jumping program, and a state-of-the-art return-to-sports testing program called dorsaVi. 

dorsaVi, The ViPerform™ system, uses wearable motion and muscle sensors that record data at 200 frames per second. The software converts data into easy-to-read insights about movement and performance. 

Mind & Body Recovery

At Rochester Hills Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, physical rehabilitation goes hand-in-hand with mental performance. Our team works closely with sports psychology specialists to help patients manage the mental challenges that come with injury, surgery, or returning to activity. From building confidence after a major procedure to managing anxiety and motivation during recovery, integrating psychological support helps patients achieve their goals faster and safer.
