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
