PHYSICAL REHABILITATION
Physical Rehabilitation is a term that is used to cover all aspects of rehabilitation. Prevention Physical Therapy provides physical therapy services to aid in your personal injury recovery. Physical therapy provided from Prevention Physical Therapy is aimed in providing the highest quality of care for you and your family. Our motto, "Disability prevented with quality care," is our primary goal when treating you.
