Uncomplicated and Free



Access to safety is free and not very complicated.  A google search directs us to social distance, wear masks, and sanitize.

At PTW, take a look in on any day, and you'll see door handles, windows, countertops, and equipment sanitized on a regular cycle throughout the day.  You'll see patients practicing the "wash your hands coming in and wash your hands leaving" request, while our teams stay committed to wearing masks, washing hands between each patient, and practice distancing between the treatment areas.  It seems like we have some time to go before it ends, and a time we will remain stoic in our pursuits of safety. It is another step for us to take in our day, a practice with us for many months to come. Though it has to be enduring, it is not complicated.

Similarly, access to pain is free and not very complicated, just take a hammer to your thumb, no charge.

It turns out, the solution to pain is not the least bit complicated either.

If you don't already know, you have a right to visit an experienced direct access privileged Physical Therapist, without having to see your doctor first.  One less step and a few dollars saved, access to PTW gives you the keys to better movement, less pain, and endurance needed to get through a history-making pandemic.

Over the past 20 years, we have earned our direct access privileges, one PT at a time. We have worked to develop a close network of specialists, including Orthopedic Doctors, Neurologists, pain management specialists, Podiatrists, and many others, to refer our complicated patients when needed. 

The results speak for themselves.  For the first 30 days of treatment, we help make a difference with movement, reduction in pain, enough that most of our patients do not need referrals to a specialist. 

Staying accessible and keeping you and our staff safe at PTW has never meant more.
