IN-HOME PHYSICAL THERAPY
Physical therapists help patients with injuries and chronic health conditions regain their range of motion, manage their pain, and improve their quality of life. For example, if you need help managing lower back pain or recovering from an ACL tear, you would go to a physical therapist. PTs play a critical role not only in treating musculoskeletal conditions, but also in educating patients about staying fit and preventing future injuries.
Whether our clients are recovering from an injury, or require regular care for their chronic illness, our professional team of Therapists are ready to help.
