Every October, ATI recognizes and celebrates Physical Therapy Month. As a leader in the PT industry, we are proud of our Physical Therapists and our Physical Therapy Assistants and their ongoing efforts to deliver outstanding patient care.

Physical Therapy is much more than care for individual post-surgery or injured athletes. It includes a wide range of exercises, stretches and therapeutic options to ease pain and improve how you go about your everyday tasks.

What is Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy aims to improve the lives of its patients through movement. Whether the patient is recovering from a sports injury, experiencing chronic back pain or trying to improve their balance, physical Therapy can help in these areas and more. The goal is to improve mobility, increase flexibility, build strength, and restore function.

  • Neck
  • Back
  • Shoulder
  • Elbow
  • Hip
