Meet Our Team

Shady Grove Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Center is committed to getting you back on your feet and into your daily life, pain-free. With over 40 years of combined experience, our therapists strive to provide you with meticulous one-to-one care that emphasizes comfort, care and kindness.
​
We don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach to wellness.​ When assessing your condition and planning your treatment, we take into consideration your lifestyle as well as all other underlying factors which could contribute to or hinder your recovery. Based on this knowledge, we build personalized rehabilitation program that encourage independence and personal achievement.
​
We offer the care you need, when you need it.

We believe in being available for our patients when they need us and this is why we operate on very flexible hours.
