Pre and Post Surgery Care
Post-operative physical therapy is standard, but did you know that PT before surgery can improve your outcomes, help you heal faster, and save you money? We will work with your physician to chart a path that’s right for you.
Foot Health
25% of all the bones in the human body are in your feet. When these bones are out of alignment, so is the rest of your body. A physical therapist is an ideal guide for ensuring your feet optimally support the rest of your body, preventing discomfort, pain and injury.

As experts in movement, physical therapists serve as your first line of care when you experience pain, discomfort or injury while training or competing in your sport. At Body in Balance, we will work to restore you to the competitive level you enjoyed prior to your injury.
