giving back through research
In an effort to give back to you and the community we have taken up the task of fully funding and conducting research in physical therapy. This is in hopes of improving treatments, enhancing care, and supporting reimbursement of physical therapy not just for our patients, but for all.
When you seek treatment at our facility you are also supporting our work as researchers, and our efforts to give back to our patients and the profession. Below are a list of our current research efforts. If you know someone or are interested in participating in one of our research projects please contact us.
