Physical Therapy
We offer orthopedic, hand, sports medicine, neurologic, geriatric,

Florida area in Palm Beach County. Physical Therapy is a goal
oriented treatment process. Therapists use skilled therapeutic
methods, educational intervention, and physical agents to maximize
healing and independence in individuals with compromised function
due to underlying pathological processes. Physical therapy helps
improve patients' range of motion, balance, posture, muscle
performance, and coordination, resulting in freedom from pain and an
improved quality of life. It’s a recognized discipline throughout
the world. In the US, physical therapists require state licensure
through a standardized national exam. In the US since 2000, a field
entrance Master’s Degree has been required. In the State of Florida
patients can be seen without a doctor's referral...but ...not with
