Shoulder strains or impingement
Sprains
Fall injuries
Overuse and repetitive strain injuries
Other job site related injuries

How Physical Therapy Can Help

Regardless of the type of injury, physical therapy can help! We understand that every person is different, therefore you you'll receive valuable time with our staff. We'll listen to what you have to say about your injury and a treatment will be tailored to your situation and will suit your pain or therapy needs.

After a diagnosis is formed, our team will work closely with you to help decrease your pain, increase your strength, and work to get you back to work as soon as possible. Your treatment will be focused to resolve acute symptoms related specifically to the injury while providing a movement exercise program to restore range of motion and mobility.
