At Benton-Franklin Orthopedic Associates, we have some of the best, highly trained physical and occupational therapists in the Columbia Valley, along with state-of-the-art rehab facilities and equipment. Your therapist will evaluate your injury by asking questions to better understand your current condition. We will prepare you to start light strengthening exercises or stretching to enhance your range of motion. Depending upon your unique needs, you may receive a home exercise program and prescription medications to be taken as directed by your physician.
