Who provides treatment at Avondale PT?

All care is delivered by licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy. Our team performs comprehensive evaluations to assess range of motion, muscle strength, flexibility, movement quality, and functional limitations before designing your personalized treatment plan.

What happens during my initial physical therapy evaluation?

During your first visit, your physical therapist will:

  • Review your medical history and current symptoms

Based on these findings, we create a customized treatment plan designed to help you return to the activities you enjoy.
