Our Approach

At SSPT, we are focused on providing you with the best physical therapy services available. It is our goal to help you enhance your quality of life through improved health and fitness.

We believe in a holistic approach to enhancing the health of an individual. This holistic approach includes the following elements:

• Complementary treatment techniques: Our therapists use a combination of techniques to provide comprehensive care designed to optimize your function and prevent, diagnose, and therapeutically manage your condition. Learn more by clicking a technique from the list on the left.
• Personalized care: You will always receive one-on-one-care based on a completely unique course of therapy.
• Patient participation: Your involvement is critical to a successful outcome. To actively involve you in every stage of your care, your therapist will educate you about your condition, inform you about treatment options, and teach you about the recovery process.
• Collaborative care: Your therapist will work closely with your physicians and other health practitioners to ensure that you receive comprehensive, integrated care that addresses your concerns and helps you improve your quality of life.
• Functional focus: We emphasize a functional approach, where each therapy session strives for you to accomplish something you couldn't before. At every step, we focus on helping you reach your goal, whether it's to overcome an old injury, rehabilitate from a recent surgery, or simply lead a more active, healthy life.
• Advanced practices: Our therapists employ clinical reasoning and evidence-based practices to systematically assess your condition and incorporate the most recent clinical practices in physical therapy care. Know that you are receiving the most advanced care available.

“As a professional classical musician, my injury was more than painful-it threatened my livelihood. I have healed 100%. I received the most advanced care for my frozen shoulder during a series of sessions that were not only immediately effective, but enjoyable and informative. The creative, nuanced and thorough program the therapists designed for me healed me very quickly, and also set me up for a lifetime of the best kind of self care.”
