Teamwork
Our physical therapy department has three
locations Downtown Columbus, Dublin, and Pickerington. Our occupational therapy departments are located in Downtown Columbus and in Dublin. We are a comprehensive team of professionals with advanced degrees, specialized training, and years of excellent experience. With dedication and commitment, we are focused on our patients' outcomes and satisfaction. They include:
- Physical Therapists
- Physical Therapist Assistants
- Occupational Therapists
This team also includes physicians who specialize in orthopaedic surgery, primary care sports medicine and other orthopaedic sub-specialties. Everyone on our team is specialty trained in sports medicine and orthopaedics and works together to develop treatment plans based on proven protocols, yet specific to each individual patient. This teamwork provides our patients in central Ohio, and throughout the state, the best diagnosis, treatment, surgery and rehabilitation.
Our key is a specialized approach to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of common sports and orthopaedic injuries and conditions. We start with compassion and understanding. We treat many injuries in the same way that we treat the injuries of professional athletes, just in a toned-down manner, carefully developed for each individual. Much of our practice is treating non-athletes who want specialized care and treatment similar to what we provide the professional, collegiate and scholastic athletes.

Physical Therapy for Hip & Knee Replacement and Revisions:
SMGOA Physical Therapy provides a comprehensive post-surgical regiment for patients recovering from total hip or knee surgery or from a hip or knee revision surgery.
Total joint replacement can minimize or alleviate a patient's pain and restore function to their joints. This is a wonderful, life enhancing procedure, but recovery time is frequently dependent on a patients' compliance to physical therapy.
Our physical therapy program for joint replacement guides each patient through the various stages of recovery. From use of mobility aids, like walkers and canes, to increasing flexibility and strength, our staff is right beside our patients every step of the way.
Occupational Therapy Program:
Our Occupational Therapists work very closely with Dr. Gary Millard, our hand surgeon. They work together to develop treatment plans and programs designed help each individual recover quicker from their injuries or from a surgical procedure.
Functional Capacity Evaluations:
SportsMedicine GRANT & Orthopaedic Associates offers a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) as a tool to measure and assess the functional work capacity of an injured worker.
The FCE is a physical motion and movement test that lasts about 90 minutes. During this time, the injured worker will complete several repetitive motions and movements. These motions and movements will require them to lift, push and pull various weights and objects, all while being measured for strength and endurance. The patients also have their subjective pain level monitored and accessed during the testing procedures.
A FCE provides our physicians with valuable information, allowing them to safely release a worker back to his or her work at a safe intensity level. The test can also provide information to help identify those individuals who are not giving a full effort during the test.
