Our Physical therapists are the key recovery pathways for our patients who are recuperating from injuries, illnesses, and surgery. They must work with our patients to help them regain movement and manage pain, in the comfort of their homes.

Must be fully licensed to practice therapy and treatment on patients, and doing so often helps patients reclaim their lives, their momentum, and their contentment.
