How Physical Therapy Helps You Move Forward

Physical therapy isn’t just about treating pain—it’s about empowering you to reclaim your independence and enjoy your favorite activities again. Our licensed DPTs (Doctor of Physical Therapy) use a blend of manual physical therapy, targeted PT exercises, and advanced techniques like dry needling and therapeutic modalities to help you recover safely and efficiently.

Common Conditions We Help With

From sports injuries to everyday aches, our rehab PT services address a wide range of needs:

  • Back pain treatment for those persistent aches after winter storms or long commutes
  • Knee pain and IT band issues for runners, athletes, and anyone active on local trails
