Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility and reducing pain through personalized treatment plans. Using manual therapy, exercise prescription, and advanced technology, we address musculoskeletal conditions for surgical and non-surgical patients. Our licensed therapists work closely with physicians to ensure comprehensive care tailored to individual recovery goals.
Sports Rehabilitation
Specialized sports rehabilitation programs help athletes recover from injuries and improve performance. We utilize blood flow restriction therapy, kinesio taping, and sport-specific training to treat common athletic injuries while preventing future complications through biomechanical analysis and conditioning.
Gait Analysis
Advanced running gait analysis identifies biomechanical inefficiencies using motion video technology. Our therapists evaluate movement patterns to correct form abnormalities, prevent injuries, and enhance athletic performance through individualized corrective protocols and targeted exercises.
Postural Assessment
Comprehensive postural assessments identify alignment issues affecting mobility and causing chronic pain. Using clinical diagnostics, we develop treatment plans to correct kyphosis, lordosis, and other postural deviations through targeted exercises and manual therapy techniques.
Telemedicine
Telehealth physical therapy provides remote care through video conferencing for patients with scheduling constraints. Our therapists conduct virtual evaluations, demonstrate exercises, and monitor progress while ensuring treatment effectiveness through digital tracking systems and home exercise programs.

Report
Paspa is very organized & professional. The initial telephone contact was very informative; easy to make 1st appointment. Kristen, my physical therapist was welcoming & put me immediately at ease. She explained & demonstrated the exercises, helping me feel enthusiastic & eager to learn. A care plan was provided to assist with at home training.. The Paspa establishment is well set up; plenty of room & very clean (COVID safe). I highly recommend Paspa for any physical therapy needs.

I'm so glad I found Paspa PT! Hands down the best facility I've ever been to. It became clear rather quickly that Pam and her staff genuinely care about their patients.

I have been working with hugo for the past few months and, in my opinion, this is one of the best physical therapy shops in the city. Hugo is extremely attentive and unlike other pt shops, they don't just churn people in and out using standard therapy progressions. I feel like they spend the time to create a catered program based on where I am which has resulted in better long term outcomes.
