Personalized therapy for your lifestyle

We focus on your wellness and health so you can get back to what matters most. Once your physician refers you to Health First Physical Therapy, we will give you a thorough evaluation to determine how your injury or illness affects your lifestyle.

We will then work together with you and your physician to create a treatment plan that will help you reclaim your life, whether that means swinging a tennis racquet again, getting dressed without help or taking a walk with your dog.

Your treatment goals may include:

  • Minimizing pain/swelling
  • Promoting healing of soft tissue injuries
  • Restoring range of motion to joints
  • Increasing muscle strength and endurance
  • Correcting gait and posture deviations
  • Education for you and your family
  • Working on activities needed for your job, self-care or leisure
  • Recovery from surgery

 

Paying for physical therapy

We want to help you get the care you need. We accept insurance from several health plans as well as self pay by cash, check or credit card.
