We work with some of the best doctors in the country and can help you determine how to best serve your needs.
From there we collaborate with your doctor to formulate a program that ranges from preoperative care all the way through postoperative. Each program begins with a full, personalized assessment that incorporates physician input, pre-existing medical conditions, laboratory values, radiographs, and a multitude of other key factors such as cardiovascular fitness level and diet.
From this evaluation, a custom individualized program is designed and the most qualified PTS therapists are assigned to your case.
By consistently following this procedure PTS ensures that each client is best positioned for successful recuperation and ongoing maintenance. Periodic reassessments keep the pace of recovery and maintenance on track. Positive reinforcement and open communication keep patients motivated and aware of their progress.
Dedication to the patient’s overall well being is paramount to a successful physical therapy treatment.
The patient is our primary concern. From respecting your time to providing you with a professional, friendly, and inviting atmosphere, we take great pride in providing a responsiveness to our patients’ needs that is unparalleled.
