Physical Therapy - Therapists & Assistants

Physical Therapists
Our Physical Therapists are experts in mobility & pain management. Our clients rely on PTs to teach their patients how to manage their condition, minimize injury, & achieve long-term health goals.
Physical Therapists examine their patients individually & develop a treatment plan using techniques that promote mobility, pain reduction, function restoration, & disability prevention. PTs also proactively work to prevent mobility deterioration by teaching patients how to improve their individual fitness.
Physical Therapy Assistants
Our Physical Therapy Assistants work under the supervision of a Physical Therapist to treat patients of all ages who have mobility limitations. PTAs also monitor changes over time in a patient's overall performance as treatment is administered.
