Services
Our passion is helping people who enjoy being active overcome physical impairments and live fulfilled lives without losing time to pain or injury. Tandem Physical Therapy is a locally owned and operated physical therapy clinic in Metairie specializing in the restoration of function and mobility. We use a skillful "hands on" approach as the cornerstone of our practice and incorporate specialized exercises to fix painful, abnormal movements.
Each session with your therapist will include a "hands on" portion followed by movement retraining and coaching. You will find that each treatment builds from the previous one and progress is constantly monitored. Between treatments you will be responsible for maintaining gains by adhering to a personalized home exercise program.
Physical therapy is a natural solution that heals your body through corrective movements. We help to re-establish nerve-to-muscle connections that your body has lost and restore proper joint mechanics through our "hands on" approach. Physical therapy has helped many people avoid unnecessary surgeries, decrease or eliminate the need for pain medications, and has helped people get "back to normal".
Our Doctors of Physical Therapy go to school for seven years to learn all about mechanical pathologies of the body. They can treat everything from common sports injuries, such as sprains and strains, to low back pain and much, much more. Rest assured, if we detect anything that requires further medical evaluation, we will make sure you get to the right person.
In our current healthcare climate, time spent with your providers is decreasing as your costs are rising. This can cause delayed care, improper management, and leave you with a sense of feeling "lost in the shuffle". To top it off, when you leave an office visit it's often with more questions than answers.

If you want THE BEST and most thorough, patient and caring Physical Therapy, TANDEM is the place for you and it has been for me - twice! After a hip replacement and to resolve way-too-long tendinitis.
My Ortho even commented on how they care about their patients.
I was really discouraged with stubborn ankle tendinitis- in and out of a boot- limited walking- loss of exercise program and gaining weight- worried about upcoming travel. This week I “graduated” from PT and am getting my life back thanks to the dynamic team at Tandem. I’ve observed other patients as I come and go and have seen

I first came to Tandem for lower back issues. I was so pleasantly surprised when I realized I'd be getting 1-on-1 treatment for the entire session, every time. I was used to other places where you're stuck on machines and told to do exercises "on your own." Not only did they help me fix my major back issues, but they taught me how to properly complete all of my favorite at home exercises. They were so considerate of my short-term and long-term goals. I would 100% recommend Tandem to anyone needing PT!

They're fantastic! I was only there for a short time, but it was amazing time. Lauren helped me with my knee pain, and taught me simple yet effective exercises. Joy also aided in challenging me to strengthening exercises that helped me. Their personalities are just so upbeat and uplifting that it truly helps with the healing process. Highly recommended them! Will sadly miss our time together.

I have had a very good experience receiving PT from Tandem Physical Therapy. My therapists were very knowledgeable concerning my problem and worked tirelessly to help me better manage my chronic neck pain. Each one worked one on one with me during the manual treatments as well as working with me on my exercises that I was to do at home. They listened to all my concerns about my pain and explained in detail my treatment before actually doing anything to me. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for one on one treatment with a therapist.

Review by George-Ann Lovinggood:
Over several months I had been experiencing lower back pain that radiated into my upper thigh. I was directed by my doctor to receive therapy at a hospital physical therapy facility. After my initial visit, I could not get another appointment sooner than 1 month away. The pain at this point was interfering with sleep and daily activities. Luckily I was referred to Tandem by a friend and my therapy started immediately. Within a few sessions I noticed a definite improvement thanks to Dr. Lauren Manna. Dr. Lauren provided the one-on-one attention that I would not

I can't thank Tandem Physical Therapy enough for the help Lauren Manna gave to my 13 year old son. After years of his foot turning out when he walked and doctors not being able to do much, Lauren worked with my son giving him home exercises to work on to strengthen his hip. He actually liked going to therapy because of Lauren. He said she was nice and funny and she was helping him. For a 13 year old to want to go to therapy that is saying a lot. He now has more confidence in how he walks. I highly recommend Tandem Physical Therapy.

I arrived at Tandem after going to PT with another therapist where I had I initially improved then plateaued. The experience at Tandem is much different than it was at the other PT. At Tandem I received individual attention rather than one of many other patients doing exercises all at the same time. I believe this individual attention is a key reason why the plateau was broken and I saw significant improvement. I worked with Dr. Manna and she really knows her subject. This knowledge, her very pleasant personality and that individual attention all added up to an excellent experience, and most importantly

Lauren has been great. She’s effectively helped me get over the most severe and life altering pain that I have ever experienced. The treatment has been very positive – a full hour with an experienced PT is much more effective than working with inexperienced interns.
They worked around my schedule so I would not have to lose income from taking time off work. They send a convenient text message reminder the day before each appointment. There's no 45 minute waits in the lobby either. Good cookies at Christmas. Very customer focused!
