The staff at APTOW did an amazing job to work with me on getting my range of motion back and then on strengthening. Love them all!
I usually hate therapy but I love coming to APTOW!
APTOW helped my mother gain strength and range of motion in her hand and arm after suffering a stroke.
Since coming to APTOW, the strength in my left knee is ten times better. I can now tie my own shoes and do most activities that I did before my injury.
I was very depressed before I came here. No one believed I was in pain or cared. Everyone at APTOW has been extremely friendly and seems interested in my progress. This means the world to me.

- Pain Relief
  
  Reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation are common goals in this phase of recovery. Injury protection, elevation, appropriate medications, compression, and patient education are important.
- Introduce Movement
  
  Pain-free passive, manual therapy, active range of motion, and cardiorespiratory exercises, are indicated here. Education about pain and a positive attitude may help.
- Strengthening
  
  Progressive loading of healing soft tissues, the reintroduction of low-stress neuromuscular reeducation, balance training, and basic functional activities are part of this rehabilitation phase.
- Functional Retraining
  
  Progressing strengthening exercises, improving flexibility, and advanced balance exercises are part of phase 4. Resuming functional movement (e.g. sports movements) occurs in this phase.
- Recovery & Prevention
  
  Functional movements are progressed, a controlled re-introduction to sports or challenging environments is initiated. Continued strengthening, flexibility, balance, endurance, and goal-specific training occurs during this phase. Education and future injury prevention are discussed.
