Sports Physical Therapy
Our sports physical therapy program addresses injuries and performance enhancement for athletes. Specialized treatments include ACL recovery, rotator cuff rehabilitation, and biomechanical analysis. Therapists use kinesio taping and manual therapy to restore function. Tailored plans ensure safe return to competition for all skill levels.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy leverages buoyancy and resistance for low-impact recovery. The SwimEx pools adjustable current aids in gait training and sport-specific conditioning. Ideal for post-surgical patients, arthritis sufferers, and athletes, this therapy reduces joint stress while improving strength and flexibility through 360-degree resistance.

You absolutely cannot go wrong with these great folks. Sad to say that over the years Ive had the need to use PT several times for various reasons. I will not go anywhere else now. They were accurate, clear, worked me hard when necessary and was gentle when the need was there and encouraged me to listen to my body while also challenging me. They were nice, the office was super clean. Brad was my PT and I just loved him. Professional, personable and smart with his diagnosis!

The work they do is wonderful. But when it comes down to it they estimate a number and charge you and then months later charge you for dates that had perviously been visited. If you want to be squeezed by a billing company this is the place to go. If youd rather get treatment without getting taken advantage of visit another Physical therapist.

I have been going to PT in Middletown on and off for over a year. Brad, Ashley and Kyle (and the Techs) have helped me through my rehab for two total knee replacements and for Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). At 6 weeks with my second knee replacement I was bending to 120 degrees and full extension! I cannot say enough great things about the care I have received. Between their professionalism, knowledge, compassion and sense of humour, therapy has been a joy. And Laura, the receptionist, always greets you with a wonderful smile and is extremely accommodating. Thank you for taking such great care of
