Services
Healing from an injury caused by accidents or sports activity requires early and skilled physical therapy treatment. We believe that there are three key components to the speedy recovery from injuries. These are the patient's commitment to treatment regime, setting and achieving a series of small recovery goals, and maintaining a positive mental attitude.
At PT First - Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation, we help clients of every age, and from all walks of life return to the pain-free functioning that makes life worth living. We work with children and adults, competitive athletes to post-surgery seniors. We provide an integrative approach that facilitates healing and returns patients to a high-level functioning and/or improvement of sports performance.
PT FIRST is pleased to offer this one of a kind aquatic therapy setting. This is the only rehab facility in the state with an above ground aquatic therapy pool and underwater treadmill. The Hyrdoworkx 3oo is more than just an underwater treadmill. This model is safe and effective for most ages and conditions.
Thank you for choosing PT First - Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation for your physical therapy and rehabilitation needs. For our new patients, we ask that you to bring your health insurance card, and physician referral or prescription for physical therapy to your appointment. You will also need to review, complete and initial a series of patient information forms and policy notices.

All around wonderful experience. Dr. Felipe Mares and Francina treated me like family and I will continue to send my own family and friends to them in the future. I came to PT First following an Achilles rupture and subsequent surgery. Felipe is a highly skilled therapist who got me back to the activities I love quicker than expected. During every appointment Felipe gave me high quality care, taking the time to get to know me and tailoring my rehab accordingly. I am incredibly grateful to have had such a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated therapist. Francina also provided me with excellent

Felipe helped me when I had a knee replacement got me walking in no time.very professional, knowledgeable I wouldn't trust any one else. Francine in front offic runs the front end while Felipe runs the backend very smooth running office. A few months ago I was very fortunate Felipe had an opening for me when I broke my femur and put me in water therapy I have one month left but if it wasn't for Felipe I probably would be months behind on therapy with water therapy and Felipes expertise I'm months ahead. Never felt better. I recommend this place to everyone trust me you will have the best treatment

Thank you all so much for helping me! I walked in to PT FIRST in really bad shape and returned to a better lifestyle than even my doctor thought was possible. I was so impressed with the level of professional medical care at this facility. I did a wealth or research before I choose this place. I was able to do aquatic therapy in addition to hands on one-one care. Their motto or listen, treat and educate is truly practiced.
I am from back east and this is a first class facility. I have sent several friends and family to them as well.

Both of my feet were in bad shape after botched bunion surgeries. I was referred to PT First and was truly amazed at what a difference having them work with me made. Because of Felipe’s experience and personalized therapy, my left foot healed. I returned to them after having reconstructive surgery on my right foot. They have completely revamped to handle patients in this COVID crisis. The facility is spotless and Felipe is able to provide treatment at a distance. Already my foot is better and I am on the way to healing. Only a true professional who cares would be able to deliver this kind of

I had a bad knee and ankle. I was an avid runner but stopped. I found this place on line based on the aquatic therapy program. I was very impressed with the sophistication this place runs with. I completed my sessions and the aquatic therapy services were a game changer. I returned to running and got some piece of mind also!

Such a wonderful place and Felipe is incredible! They take great care of my mom who recently had a knee replacement and has many other issues from her shoulders and back.
I saw Felipe for a knee issue myself after taking a bad fall and he was so attentive and considerate.
They are taking all precautions right now with the pandemic from hand washing stations, temperature recording, to face masks and shields around the therapist to ensure everyone's safety.
Would highly recommend them for all your p.t. needs. Thank you for all that you do!

I had a bad fall in Sept. and fractured my tibial plateau (bone under the knee cap). After spending nearly 9 months wearing a brace and not putting any weight on my leg I needed physical therapy. The center associated with the orthopedic center I was going to couldn’t take me for 3 weeks so I got on the phone and called PT First and was thrilled they could see me the next week. They are located in a convenient location with parking just steps away from the front door. I was greeted by their friendly and competent front desk staff who checked me in right away. The owner, Felipe, met with me personally

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! The front desk staff is great, from scheduling appointments to keeping you up to date on the cost of your appointments. Felipe and his staff are so kind, professional, and knowledgeable. They have helped me regain my strength through the physical therapy sessions. There is a big difference from when I first started and now. I highly recommend going to PT First! You won't be disappointed!
