Who are we & Why are we here?
We're working professionals with a large family, so we understand the value and busyness of life.
We've had our own injuries...and learned a few things from them along the way.
We're local, veteran & family-owned, because we value supporting our community with exceptional quality.
We're a physical therapy practice specializing in nerve and musculoskeletal disorders of the spine, head, jaw & extremities.
Originally from the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, we enjoy spending quality time with our family and friends, so we can relate to how pain & injury slow us down from living well.
With 20 years of experience, we know that for most people...
meds and surgery are not what you want.
But where do you begin? Google, YouTube...Pilates, Yoga, Massage, Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, etc.?
Each choice, while perhaps good options, can add confusion & stress. Stress complicates pain. Pain can hinder healing.
We take the guess work out of your recovery by staying focused on you finishing well & committed to excellence. If you have tried other options and not had success, don't lose heart. Contact us today to explore if we can help you.
