Sara Roy treating arm injuryOne-on-one time with your practitioner is our top priority. We will educate you about your injury/condition, ensure you fully understand your abilities or limitations, and guide you through your rehabilitation process. This will give you the information you need to avoid reoccurrence of your injury in the future. Our staff remain up-to-date on current research, treatment protocols, and injury guidelines, in order to provide you with the most relevant and effective treatment possible.

We also offer additional resources for you to use outside of your time in the clinic. Whether it's communication with the practitioners, handouts related to your injury, videos, updates to our website, or recommendations for external resources, we will provide you with the tools needed to take an active role in your recovery.

As a multidisiplinary clinic, we offer a full complement of services to help you with every step of the rehabilitation process. We provide an excellent continuum of care between multiple treating practitioners. When relevant, practitioners will meet between appointments to coordinate, monitor, and implement a treatment plan, in an effort to maximize the efficiency of your treatments. Each and every body is unique, and we will work with you to find the practitioner that best suits your rehab needs.
