Physical Therapy

It is well known that the body heals through physical movement and the quality of the movement and expertise of the therapist determines how fast some heal. 

 

ALT-MED physical therapy is unique and successful. Our approach is an individualized, movement-based program. The movements are based on martial arts. Martial arts are a rich source of extraordinary physical movements that can be modified for most physical conditions – accelerating healing and function.

 

For almost two decades, patients have come from around the country to be treated at ALT-MED. Unlike most traditional therapy programs, at ALT-MED, you have our physical therapist's full and undivided attention for your entire therapy. You are not handed off to less qualified physical therapy assistants or athletic trainers.
