Recognizing our Physical Therapy Team


October is Physical Therapy Awareness Month! We are proud to offer on-site physical therapy services at our Ballantyne, Charlotte, Concord, Huntersville, Matthews, and Rock Hill offices, focused on improving patient recovery and rehabilitation. Our team of licensed physical therapists work together with our physiatrists, neurosurgeons, and neurologist to review patient progress, develop treatment plans, and share insight for optimal patient care. Through one-on-one sessions with our physical therapists, patients receive the maximum benefit from their treatment. There is also an emphasis on patient education and injury prevention. In this blog, learn the "why" behind our physical therapist's passion, skill, and purpose!
