How We Help

Our proven 3-step approach gets you back to doing what you love.

Step 2

We’ll develop a treatment plan that will be tailored specifically to you and your goals. This will ultimately allow us to get you stronger, pain-free, and on track to reach your goals more effectively and efficiently.

Step 3

Once we get you back to exercising pain free, we’ll implement strategies to get you performing at an even higher level than you were prior to your injury. We’ll also implement strategies to “bulletproof” your body.

Active Physical Therapy

Our Advantages - Why Choose Active?

Highest Quality

You will have a physical therapist working with you 1:1 for your entire visit. This allows us to make each visit highly efficient and maximize rehab progress to get you back doing what you love.

Decreased Visit Frequency

For busy active people, maximizing the efficiency of your visits makes rehab a realistic path to recovery. Do you have kids? Do you work a busy job? Do you live an active life? We can help maximize your recovery and decrease the frequency of visits.

No Referral Needed

No referral for PT treatment is required. Taking this barrier away makes setting up a visit as simple as contacting us to make an appointment and to see that we are the right fit for you.

Casual Clinic Environment

Our clinic is different than most clinics you will see. We offer an environment that focuses on whole person wellness to help you feel safe and relaxed in our casual rehab environment.

Practitioners Network

We will work closely with all your health practitioners and enable you to receive the best care possible through thorough communication.

Therapy Goals

Our goals are determined by a thorough initial consultation which helps us identify what goals are most important to you and to help you return to an active lifestyle as we form a plan together to help you get there.
