Community Outreach

At SSPT we're not only interested in helping the community—we want to become a vital part of it. We believe a healthier community is a stronger community, and by encouraging healthy living we're able to raise awareness and affect the community in positive ways.

Community service

SSPT supports community volunteerism in our employees. Each year, we encourage our staff members to devote some of their time to the charities and organizations that SSPT supports.

Screening assessments

As a service to the people in our community, SSPT offers free screening assessments designed to identify and prevent potential problems in the workplace, in the athletic arena, or in everyday activities. Depending on the needs of you or your organization, our therapists can provide preliminary assessments of balance, strength, flexibility, agility, repetitive movements, posture, and motion. Based on our assessments, we will recommend exercises and strategies for avoiding future injuries, increasing productivity, and improving quality of life.

Educational outreach

We actively promote healthy living and pain-free function through our commitment to educating patients, families, and colleagues. We regularly conduct seminars to promote awareness, concepts for healthier living, and injury prevention strategies. Our educational seminars have targeted instrumental musicians, youth and adult sports teams, senior citizens, dance companies, schools, and area businesses.
