Our Commitment

We are happy to continue to provide convenient, safe, and immediate access to Physical Therapy services. We remain a manual therapy and exercise-based practice with the highest level of safety by circulating and purifying the indoor air with a dozen IQ air units. We have also built an outdoor waiting room that we keep comfortable at all times of the year.

We are currently experiencing staff shortages and we have had to shorten our patient contact times in order to get patients in faster and for follow-up visits. We would appreciate your understanding during these extremely challenging times!

With Gratitude,
Allen Ling, PT, Founder
