Medical Associates physical therapists are experts in helping people suffering from pain, or from a loss of mobility or function. We are highly trained in evaluation and treatment of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal and nervous systems across all areas of the body. Our 17 physical therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapy assistants have over 250 years of combined experience, with a vast array of specializations and advanced certifications.
Our therapists practice in collaboration with referring healthcare providers, including Medical Associates providers and providers from other clinics and locales, to thoroughly assess and treat a wide range of conditions. For patients referred by Medical Associates providers, we have the convenience of direct, face-to-face communication with those providers, as well as sharing a common medical record system.
Patients may access our physical therapists through self-referral (direct access), in order to get in quickly for an appointment. We will work with you to develop an individualized treatment approach to restore your functional mobility and get you back to pain-free living.
