Interested in what makes us different? Watch this special video to find out more…
After years of working as a physical therapist, we discovered one simple KEY to success. We created a 5 step process to unlock that KEY and ensure that every person receives the absolute best, world class quality care designed to give you the BEST chance of getting out of pain and back to the activities you care about.
"What Makes Us Different"

As you can see from the picture, the path to recovery can be described in three phases.
- The first phase is focused on reducing pain and increasing mobility.
- The second phase incorporates gaining stability or “control” of the spine, hips and shoulders. This further augments pain reduction and sets the foundations for long-term pain relief.
- The third phase is maximizing mobility, gaining strength & stamina, and working on dynamic power and function (i.e. performance).
Most physical therapy clinics will STOP care somewhere in phase 1 or at the end of phase 1.
Why? Because they haven’t taken the time to appropriately educate clients on “why” they need to continue care.
If you have received PT care like this in the past or if you personally have “chosen” to stop care at this phase of recovery you most likely have experienced relapses in pain, recurring symptoms or worse – increasing symptoms and severity of pain.
What Is The Physical Therapy Now 5 Step Process?
We Help Adults Get Out Of Pain And Return To Activities That They Love

STEP 1
We take the time to get to know you and your injury.
- I have said numerous times, ”I don’t treat injuries, I treat people.”
- Meaning, by taking the time to get to know you as a person, we have a better idea of what your goals and needs are and we can therefore create a better plan to meet YOUR specific needs.
STEP 2
We provide a head-to-toe assessment to learn not only about the symptomatic area but also all the contributing factors.
- In many cases, the symptomatic region is an area that is working well, but is just doing “too much” to help your body compensate for another area that is not doing it’s job well.
STEP 3
We address the symptomatic region, as well as the contributing factors that may be preventing you from a full recovery.
- We provide the necessary care to help the symptomatic area heal and reduce pain.
- We take the time to find the “other areas” to help reduce stress on your symptomatic region so that once the pain goes away – the symptomatic area has a better chance of healing properly and thoroughly.
STEP 4
We help restore the mind-movement or mind-muscle connection.
- Reducing pain is only 1/3 of the battle.
- Restoring mobility, stability and strength are essential components for helping the body to “stay well” over time.
- These components are often missed by YOU the clients and by the providers, but the importance of addressing these components is often deemed less important than simply reducing the pain or symptoms.
STEP 5
We provide you with the tools to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle after the completion of your rehab program.
- Even the best diets require “maintenance” to help the results last.
- Movement and strength are no different.
- Having a few “go to” self checks or tests are an important way you can monitor your health status to better ensure your symptoms are less likely to return.
- If these checks come back as negative – awesome!
- If they checks don’t meet “normal” standards, then you’ll have the tools to help rectify the problem before it leads down a painful road again.
