ABOUT US
The Jones PT Difference
At Jones Physical Therapy, we are committed to providing a professional, personal, and practical approach to your path of healing.
Professional We have 8 physical therapists with advanced training in a variety of different areas. We maintain our reputation for treating complex and complicated issues by placing a strong emphasis on ongoing training and development to thoroughly evaluate and treat you and your family. Within our team, we have multiple areas of specialty that allow us to provide a team-based approach for our patients.
Personal Your appointments will always be one-on-one with one of our doctors and in a private treatment room, not in group gym setting. We prefer to provide a more manual and hands-on approach along with dynamic exercise and stabilization during our time with you.
Practical We realize that pain does not always present itself in a manner that is simple to diagnose and can sometimes even mask the authentic cause. This is where our hands-on approach helps us to listen to your body’s whole story and determine the root of your concern. We feel that helping you to understand your pain is a vital part of healing. We prefer to communicate with your entire health care team to ensure you are receiving the best care possible. We work with the physicians, nurse practitioners, naturopaths, chiropractors, and other physical therapists in our community and across the region on a regular basis.
Path To Healing Our entire staff is sincerely committed to accompanying you on your path to healing. Our clinic provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our clinicians have experience and expertise in treating complicated issues that tend to become chronic. We believe in working together as a team to ensure you receive the most comprehensive care possible.
