Services
Concierge Physical Therapy
We separate ourselves from the rest by offering only individualized care by physical therapy experts. All of our therapists have extensive clinical experience and are constantly striving to learn new and innovative techniques to offer the best in rehabilitation.
​
Our appointments are structured to be one-on-one with the physical therapist for the entire session. Your patients won't be passed off to an assistant or aide.
​
We also want to make sure that your patients are getting the most out of your session, so we tend to spend most of the session with hands-on treatments or focused, interactive exercises.
​
Concierge Physical Therapy - your patients deserve this! ​
