YOUR GOALS START HERE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The mission of The PT Project is to redefine the Physical Therapy<\/a> experience. We believe Physical Therapy should be performed by skilled Physical Therapists<\/strong>, with advanced certifications<\/strong>, not by PT aides or assistants. We feel your treatment should be determined solely by your needs<\/strong> and your goals<\/strong>, not by insurance benefits. We are an evidence based<\/strong> practice and utilize the latest treatments and technology to both shorten your recovery time and work on injury prevention<\/strong>. Our effective care combines skilled manual therapy<\/a><\/strong> and therapeutic exercise<\/strong>. Whether your goals are to mow the lawn again, improve your golf game, or run a marathon, we believe with the right care, you are capable of anything<\/strong>! We want active people to stay active! Let us help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
