sports medicine, traditional physical therapy, and hand therapy. Our
therapists are highly regarded in the medical arena. We are proud
of our quality of service, positive attitudes and effective rehabilitation

We work
under the guidance of your physician. The first visit is an hour long
evaluation, our therapists perform a one on one analysis of your condition
based on your doctor’s order. The therapist conducts a history and
takes range of motion and girth measurements as a reference point.
The therapist will then set out a treatment plan that will best suite
your condition. Consequent sessions are geared to a specific plan
to effectively improve your condition and get you well again.
