-
PT massage/manual techniques are provided by licensed physical therapists who use advanced training in anatomy & pathology to care for your body’s unique needs.

LONG-TERM HYPERMOBILITY
I’ve been hypermobile my entire life, but joint stiffness really set in, in my mid-20s. And I needed a combination physical therapist and personal trainer. I am so grateful for Physique’s 1-on-1 appointments and expertise! I noticed an improvement in my day-to-day functioning in just a few weeks. Taylor always encourages and pushes me without being overwhelming.

PERSISTENT NECK AND BACK PAIN FOR 15+ YEARS
I’ve had neck and back pain for 15 years - from my long career of jumping out of planes. Working with Taylor exceeds my expectations every time. Physique's mix of massage, physical therapy and personal training consistently reduces my pain. They do everything at the clinic, so I don't have to go to four different specialists to get effective treatment.

BACK PAIN, BULGING DISC
FOR OVER 10 YEARS
It's crazy to me that I won't even need my next cortisone shot for my back. I've had pain for so long. Kristy gave me a targeted combination of physical therapy, personal training, massage and dry needling that addressed my back pain and imbalances – I didn’t even know I had. I’ve had back pain for so long and because of Physique - I finally feel better.
