free, healthy lifestyle, and get back to doing the activities you love. Everyone has different needs based on the conditions of their bodies.

Once your physical therapist has a clear picture of what you need, they will begin constructing a treatment plan to help relieve your pain and achieve your goals.

Physical therapy treatments are catered toward your needs and goals! Physical therapy is generally comprised of three important phases: pain relief, strengthening, and functional integration. Some people are apprehensive about physical therapy because they believe it will hurt them; however, the opposite is usually true. Physical therapy is aimed at pain relief and strengthening.

Our physical therapists will cater your treatment plan around specific movements designed to increase your strength, flexibility, balance, and overall mobility.

Our physical therapists are as dedicated as you are, andwill encourage you to achieve all the goals you set forth in the beginning.
