The short answer is yes. However, rehab doctors are not the go to for all of the care! It is a team effort. This response is from one of our rehab physicians at Gaylord. Rehab doctors can help with exercise and joint protections: · Patients with joint hypermobility should be referred for physical and occupational therapy evaluation and management. · A low-impact muscle-strengthening program for joint protection and appropriate use of assistive devices (such as a cane or lightweight collapsible walking stick; or lightweight orthoses, such as braces or splints) can be of particular benefit. · Patients can take a number of precautions and other actions in their daily activities, including measures to optimize function, relieve symptoms, and prevent injury, in addition to participating in physical and occupational therapy. These measures should be individualized according to the patient’s clinical manifestations. Outpaitent Appointments at Gaylord: 203-284-2888
