Orthopaedics
Your provider may recommend rehabilitation to help you heal after a sports injury or joint replacement of a hip or knee, or shoulder surgery. Our experienced physical therapists, many of whom have extensive education and training in therapy for orthopaedic conditions and injuries, will guide you through exercises designed to decrease pain and increase strength, flexibility, and balance.

Pediatric Care
We can evaluate and treat children who have health-related conditions that limit their ability to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives.
We work with children to evaluate motor (movement) skills, the body’s core strength and control, and concerns related to weakness, balance or pain. We can help support normal movement patterns, address needs following injuries or surgery and improve overall conditioning for easier participation with family or peer activities.
