During this time, we are keenly focused on your safety while helping you feel better. Our centers are open and here to serve those in need. The Department of Homeland Security and state governments have deemed physical therapy an essential component of health care during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We are taking extensive preventative measures, guided by the CDC, to protect our patients and employees who enter our centers. That said, if you do not feel comfortable coming to a center for care, we will gladly reschedule your appointment for a later date. In addition, many of our locations offer telerehab services so that you can easily connect with one of our licensed therapists through web-based technology. Your care, your choice. We’re here for you today, and we’ll be here for you in the future.

“I came in unable to use my left arm and after the first visit I felt a difference. After four visits it was like I could almost fully use my arm again. Now I can sleep through the night and work with no pain!” These sentiments were from Stephanie on the treatment she received from Tyler Mobley, P.T., at our Oxford location. Stephanie came to our center with neck and arm pain that left her with poor mobility. Thanks to the power of physical therapy, Stephanie is pain-free and back to her favorite activities. Thank you, Stephanie, for your kind words and way to go Oxford team! #patientsuccess #bounceback2it
