Is physical or occupational therapy for you? Physical or occupational therapy is recommended for individuals who want to restore their maximum level of function—up to 100%—prior to when their injury occurred. Physical and Occupational Therapists return patients to their prior level of function by evaluating the patient's need, developing a specialized plan of care, and then treating the patient accordingly.

Many times the plan of care includes therapeutic exercises and the use of modalities. Modalities can consist of ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and cold lasers. Many modalities are only available to physical and occupational therapy patients, not the general public. Your doctor is a great resource to making an informed decision if physical or occupational therapy is right for you.
How do you get started? All you need is a prescription for therapy from your doctor. Then you call or visit our most convenient location to set up your first appointment.
