Philosophy of Care

We help people reach their maximal rehabilitation potential to restore health, balance and harmony by providing high quality, compassionate, friendly, and professional care.

​

Successful physical therapy requires active patient participation.  We will help you with hands on treatment, various therapeutic modalities, therapeutic exercises and activities and guidance toward the development of new, healthier habits.

​

We believe if we treat you, you will always be a patient, but if we teach you, you can treat yourself and maintain the benefit of our treatment.

​

Our commitment is to provide quality physical therapy treatment in a warm and friendly environment.
