Function Better Physical Therapy is a privately-run outpatient orthopedic practice with a mission to provide the most skilled and compassionate care for our patients. Our clinicians utilize a hands-on, evidence-based treatment approach that focuses on helping you, as a whole, not just your condition.
During your initial visit, you are taken through a comprehensive evaluation of up to 60 minutes. From there, a specific treatment program is created that is designed to help you feel better and start the process of restoring you back to full function. Our treatment plans are specific and individualized to your needs so that you can be safely progressed under a skilled clinician's supervision.
