Who we are

Priority Physical Therapy LLC is a small, privately owned, outpatient physical therapy clinic that is committed to reducing and relieving pain for patients throughout the Lehigh Valley. At our physical therapy clinic, we take a personal approach by getting to know your specific needs so we can provide to your the individualized attention you deserve. Our certified, expert staff looks forward to getting to know each patient that walks through our clinic, and help them better their lives through the use of physical therapy. Let us help you increase function, and rid of your pain!

What you can expect

When you first arrive at physical therapy clinic, you will receive an evaluation, where one of our expert staff members will determine your strengths and weaknesses. From there we will assess your limitations so that we can provide the right course of action to better your physical well-being, and eliminate anything that may be holding you back. After we determine the best physical therapy program for you, we can provide a list of at-home exercises to compliment what we do during your time in our clinic.

No Prescription Needed

We are a Direct Access clinic, meaning you can be treated for thirty days without seeing a physician first. Not only does this save you time, but it also saves you money. Start therapy as soon as you need it. Some insurance restrictions may apply.

Why Priority?

At Priority Physical Therapy, we are putting you at the center of our treatments. We want to make your physical therapy experience both beneficial and efficient. Every patient has their own goals and objectives in mind when they decide to come to physical therapy and at Priority, we put those goals at the forefront of our treatment plans. We are putting the focus on the patient, and this allows us to make our sessions meaningful and successful. We set our standards high and are constantly working toward clinical excellence, efficient treatments, and putting your needs first.

Not only do we want to decrease your pain and improve your function, but we want to make your future a better one. Through education and preventative therapy, we can help decrease your risk of future injuries.

We want to change the old view of physical therapy being painful and hard work. We want you to leave Priority having a positive and meaningful mindset. We want you to believe in physical therapy the way we do. Contact us today to schedule your next session.
