Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs combine manual techniques and therapeutic exercises to restore mobility and reduce pain. Certified therapists create individualized treatment plans addressing musculoskeletal conditions, postural issues, and movement disorders. Patients receive hands-on care combined with home exercise programs to accelerate recovery and prevent future injuries.
Spinal Decompression
This non-surgical treatment alleviates back and neck pain caused by disc problems through gentle spinal traction. It effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease by creating negative pressure to promote disc healing and nerve decompression while maintaining spinal alignment.
Sports Injury Rehab
Specialized rehabilitation programs help athletes recover from sports-related injuries through functional movement analysis and sport-specific training. Our approach combines strength restoration, flexibility improvement, and injury prevention strategies to safely return patients to competitive performance levels while minimizing re-injury risks.
Manual Therapy
Skilled therapists use targeted joint mobilizations and soft tissue techniques to improve range of motion and reduce pain. This evidence-based approach addresses musculoskeletal restrictions through precise manipulations that enhance tissue healing and restore normal movement patterns in affected areas.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Comprehensive rehabilitation programs follow surgical procedures to optimize recovery outcomes. Treatment progresses through structured phases focusing on inflammation management, strength rebuilding, and functional restoration while adhering to surgical protocols to ensure safe return to daily activities.

The environment here is pleasant to be in with lots of laughs and conversations. The staff here is very friendly and caring towards their patients. They also maintain a clean environment and can be seen wiping down tables after each use. I enjoyed my experience here and would recommend coming here for physical therapy.

I enjoyed my rehab at South Rehab.They have sufficient equipment and the one on one supervision is excellent. Staff make you feel that they really care about you. The space is large enough and small enough for you to interact with others.I would wholeheartedly recommend South Toledo Physical Therapy to anyone needing rehabilitation to go there. Annie Banks
