Testimonials
I couldn’t be happier with PhysioStrength Physical Therapy, specifically ABBY WALTER. I had an exercise related injury to my shoulder preventing me from lifting my arm more than a few inches. Abby understands the muscles and the joints so well, and she was able to articulate exactly what was going on in my shoulder and what we needed to do to fix it. What was going to take likely a year to fix, took about 8 weeks and I was back in action!

FAQs
Can I choose any physical therapy clinic for treatment?
Thanks to Direct Access laws, yes, you can choose!
The APTA’s website states, “Direct access means the removal of the physician referral mandated by state law to access physical therapist services for evaluation and treatment. Every state, the District of Columbia, and the US Virgin Islands allow for evaluation and some form of treatment without a physician referral.”
To put it another way, you can choose which clinic you want to go to instead of waiting for your primary care physician to refer you to one. This does not require a referral or a prescription!
