BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN REHAB & SPORTS PERFORMANCE
2 LOCATIONS:

Beyond the Basics
The convential approach to physical therapy is no longer effective.
The standard 10-minute hotpacks, repetitive basic exercises with an intern, and 10 minutes of 1-on1 time with a therapist for a massage 3x/week is not quality care.
Your health, time, and money
deserve more!!!
