About Us

We are committed to providing the best patient care experience possible while focusing our efforts on improving our patients’ quality of life. A strong focus on clinical reasoning is at the center of our treatment approach.

Why Choose Us?

Waits Physical Therapy is a physical therapist-owned practice. We invest in finding solutions that help reduce pain and restore the ability to function at a higher level in each patient’s daily life.

INDIVIDUALIZED CARE

At Waits Physical Therapy, we value continuing education and evidence-based, proven therapy techniques. Combined with thorough active listening strategies and clinician experience, current evidence helps us create the best possible outcomes to your personal goals. Many of our physical therapists hold advanced certifications, specializing in clinical reasoning strategies that help get to the root of your primary complaint. A physical therapist thinking through your problem while valuing your input is the gold standard of care at Waits Physical Therapy. What that means for our patients is high quality, individualized care for all musculoskeletal conditions.

ADVANCED TRAINING

Many of our therapists hold advanced certifications and degrees. Our therapists have advanced training in dry needling, orthopedics, spinal manipulative therapy, manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization, corrective exercise training, sports injury rehab/prevention, and lifestyle wellness goals. We are experienced at treating a wide range of injuries and conditions and are dedicated to continually enhancing our clinical knowledge to serve our patients and community better.

TREAT ALL AREAS OF THE BODY

At Waits Physical Therapy, we understand that being experts in orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions and movement science is understanding that everything is connected in the body. We take the time to listen to your history and story and with our experience and training put together a plan that respects every system relating to your current challenge. Injuries do not occur in isolation. More often than not, where you hurt is the symptom from another region not operating at full potential. This is what drives us to seek accurate assessments and treatment plans that get you to your goals safe and effectively. Your body is built to heal and we help create an environment with active strategies to help your body recover to its highest level of potential.

COMMUNICATION

We firmly believe that excellent care requires the highest level of communication between patient and provider. We strive to ensure all of our patients truly understand their treatment plan and why they are doing what they do. To achieve this, we strongly believe you have to know we genuinely care and are willing to listen to why you are here with us, who you are as a human, and only then can we begin to discover what the problem is that needs to be addressed. This starts with building a strong therapeutic alliance between the patient and the physical therapist.
