ORTHOPAEDIC AND MUSCULOSKELETAL ISSUES

Orthopaedic & Musculoskeletal Conditions

Injuries, surgeries, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions can disrupt your ability to perform daily tasks and participate in the activities you enjoy. At Functional Focus, our Occupational Therapists help you recover strength, improve mobility, and return to meaningful routines – safely and confidently.

Whether you’re recovering from a recent injury or managing a long-term condition, we’re here to support your journey back to function.

What Are Orthopaedic and Musculoskeletal Conditions?

These conditions affect the bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and connective tissue, often causing pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or reduced strength. Occupational Therapy focuses on how these physical challenges impact your ability to perform everyday activities.

Common Conditions We Support

• Fractures and post-surgical recovery (hip, knee, shoulder, hand, spine)
• Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)
• Tendonitis and bursitis
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder)
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Chronic pain conditions (e.g. fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome)
• Overuse and repetitive strain injuries
• Back, neck, or shoulder pain related to posture or workplace ergonomics

How Occupational Therapy Can Help

We focus on helping you do the things that matter, with less pain and more ease. Occupational Therapy is tailored to your goals and lifestyle, ensuring that recovery supports your real-world function. We can help you:

Therapeutic exercises and graded activity plans help you restore movement and function safely.

We use strategies like activity pacing, positioning, ergonomic education, and environmental changes to reduce strain and promote healing.

We modify self-care, work, and household tasks to make them easier, safer, and more comfortable while you recover.

We teach joint-saving techniques and strategies to help you stay active without overloading your body.

We may suggest tools like reachers, braces, or custom splints to support healing and improve function.

We help you transition back into work, hobbies, or caregiving roles with practical, personalized strategies.

You Don’t Have to Push Through Pain Alone

If joint or muscle pain is holding you back, Occupational Therapy can help you recover in a way that’s gentle, safe, and effective, so you can get back to what you love.
