Physical Therapy Protocols
Physical Therapy
Physical therapists and the care they provide to our patients are critical to our patients’ success. Since therapists are seeing our patients multiple times per week, we consider therapists to be a direct extension of our team. We appreciate the regular updates that we get from our patients’ therapists, and are always open to feedback on our protocols. Please reach out to our office if a specific protocol requested is not listed below.
