Years of working with patients of all ages, shapes, and sizes have made it clear
that nothing is as important- to the patient and to the success of the physical
therapy or human performance program- as the relationship between the individual
and the therapist. At many clinics, clients find themselves being shunted across
"the team," a pleasant term that often hides dramatically varying levels of
experience, certification, and education
At Praxis, you always get what you're paying for-committed, hands-on, one-on-one time,
for the full time scheduled, with one of our licensed physical therapists.
