Participate in a weekly, customized plan of care to strengthen your areas of weakness and help you reach your personal goals.
Patient-centered visits include evidence-based techniques, specific exercises, and caregiver training related to your personal goals. We don't believe in "baselines" and "reaching max potential." We go above and beyond to provide a innovative and collaborative approach to help you reach your goals.
