General RehabilitationIn El Paso

General rehabilitation is a service provided with the intention of enabling maximum quality of mobility and life.

Highly individualized programs of specific exercises and therapy to heal injuries or medical problems that limit the ability to move and perform functional activities in daily living.

EPPTS' core services focus primarily on disorders and injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, joints, ligaments and tendons) as well as post-operative orthopedic rehabilitation needs. These services involve the evaluation and treatment by skilled healthcare professionals through the development of individualized programs enabling independence with daily living activities designed to restore our patients to their previous levels of function.

Our goal oriented, hands-on approach is extremely successful in helping our patients restore physical function, regain mobility, build strength and endurance as well as to enhance their motor skills needed to perform activities of daily living.

General physical rehabilitation can include:

  • Aerobic/cardiovascular reconditioning
  • Building muscular endurance
  • Strengthening to improve joint stability and muscle function
  • Postural re-education and training
  • Balance/coordination training
  • Functional training to improve activities such as walking, standing, bending, squatting, and/or climbing stairs
  • Education on preventing injury or re-injury
  • Sport-specific skill training
  • Pain management

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist may ask you a number of questions to determine what the cause of your pain is. This can include questions about your sleep habits, activity level, and work environment. They will also ask for a medical history, and then typically ask direct questions about where and when you experience pain.
