Physical Therapy

Our physical therapy programs combine manual therapy techniques with functional exercises to address musculoskeletal conditions. We treat orthopedic injuries, spinal dysfunctions, and sports-related injuries through individualized treatment plans. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches to reduce pain while improving mobility and functional capacity for patients of all ages.

Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Specialized treatment for orthopedic conditions including pre- and post-operative care, joint replacements, and sports injuries. We employ biomechanical assessments to develop targeted rehabilitation programs. Our approach integrates strength training, mobility exercises, and pain management techniques to restore optimal physical function following injury or surgery.

Vestibular Therapy

Specialized treatment for balance disorders and vestibular dysfunction. Our certified therapists use evidence-based techniques to improve balance, reduce dizziness, and prevent falls. The program includes customized exercises targeting gaze stabilization, balance training, and functional mobility improvements for patients with inner ear conditions.

Dry Needling

Certified practitioners perform dry needling to treat muscular pain and dysfunction through targeted trigger point release. This technique improves range of motion by addressing myofascial restrictions. Treatment focuses on specific muscle groups contributing to pain patterns, complementing traditional physical therapy interventions for enhanced recovery outcomes.

Aqua Therapy

Therapeutic exercises performed in warm water to reduce joint stress while improving mobility. The buoyancy environment allows safer movement for patients with weight-bearing limitations.

My experience at PPT/CC has & was excellent experience. My last session after about a year of therapy on my knee was 1/06/22. I left my first recommendation at different PT program after my first visit because it was not personally my pace. I looked online and read good reviews about Premier PT and gave them a call. As of today I understand why leaving good reviews is essential and why iam taking the time to write. I want to thank primarily Jacquelyn for being so patient as well passionate in her profession helping myself and everyone around during my sessions. The energy and laughter shared

This business deserves all 5 of their stars and more. The entire staff deserves a round of applause. With Austin's guidance and knowledge my range of motion and flexion are much improved and continue to improve. Thank you everyone for helping me obtain the use of my shoulder.

The physical therapists and staff are great and very professional. Jacquelyn has helped bring back mobility for injuries and post-surgical recoveries. I am challenged with improving strength and range of motion, which I appreciate in a physical therapist, and look forward to the day I can run again, pain free.

I went in with debilitating low back pain and came out stronger than I've ever been.
Jacqueline and Austin are experts in their field who listen to and genuinely care about theirTtheir patients' progress. The entire staff are energetic and enthusiastic. And, if you are lucky, you may witness (and/or take part in a dance off) with Stephanie, Dan and/or Austin. If I ever need physical therapy in the future, this site will be my destination of choice.
