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.

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.
