Empowering patients to get back to life is the motto that Empower Physical Therapy lives by every day. From our Physical Therapists to the office staff, our number one goal is on our patients’ therapy goals. Every day we strive to deliver the best care to every patient. From the elite professional athlete getting back on the court after a knee surgery to the winter golf warrior healing from an elbow injury. We put patients first by developing treatment plans based on scientific evidence and delivered by people at the top of their field. We take patient’s schedules to heart and plan visits around what times and days work best for them! Additionally, Empower works closely with your insurance provider to make sure your visits are affordable and you are never overcharged.
In a nutshell our formula consists of:
Your Full Recovery = Expert Care by the best Physical Therapists + Flexible Appointments + Affordable Care

In 2018, Empower PT was created by a group of like-minded physical therapist owners who operated their own practices for more than 20 years. Nine founding clinics came together to create one practice with the belief that their practices were stronger together by sharing resources and ideas, but the owners wanted to preserve a strong private practice culture. Since its inception, the group has embraced its provider-led, provider-driven “supergroup” private practice model. The PT-centric approach has enabled Empower to focus on each patient’s unique therapy journey and drive the best possible outcomes.
