Our Approach

SSPT is focused on providing you with the best physical and occupational therapy services available. Our clinic is unique because our patients receive personalized, one-on-one care from therapists who are skilled not only at treating symptoms but also at identifying the root cause of musculoskeletal pain and discomfort. The treatment that you will receive at SSPT embraces the latest scientific evidence-based practices and the most up-to-date techniques in assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation.

Reach your goal

We emphasize a functional approach, where each therapy session strives for you to accomplish something you couldn't before. At every step, we focus on helping you reach your goal, whether it's to overcome an old injury, rehabilitate from a recent surgery, or simply lead a more active, healthy life. To ensure that you achieve your functional goals, we stress continual improvement—a process that requires us to constantly reassess your progress and adjust your course of therapy accordingly.

Be empowered

We believe that physical and occupational therapy should empower an individual to take control of his or her health and well-being. We also believe that active patient involvement increases the success rate of any treatment regimen. Because active participation often starts with understanding the causes of your injury or pain, your SSPT therapist will equip you with the skills and knowledge you'll need to better understand your body and recover lost function. With each visit, you'll feel more independent, more in control of your well-being, and more confident in your physical abilities. Your therapist may also provide you with instruction in a home exercise program, education on proper body mechanics, and helpful posture tips to prevent re-injury.

“As a professional classical musician, my injury was more than painful-it threatened my livelihood. I have healed 100%. I received the most advanced care for my frozen shoulder during a series of sessions that were not only immediately effective, but enjoyable and informative. The creative, nuanced and thorough program the therapists designed for me healed me very quickly, and also set me up for a lifetime of the best kind of self care.”
