Good Question! We are a multi-specialty, locally owned private practice with a team of dedicated Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech-Language Pathologists that pride themselves in providing quality care to their patients.

From sponsoring and coaching youth sports to volunteering at local events such as the Loop the Lake and Dragonboat Festivals - our commitment goes beyond the workplace.
