The weather is starting to break, but the ice and snow left behind strains and injuries from slips, trips, and too much shoveling. Now is the time to get the help you need! A sudden twinge in your back, a sore shoulder, or a pulled hamstring can turn a fun winter day into a painful week. The good news? At Rehab Associates, you don’t have to wait for a doctor’s referral to get help. With Direct Access Physical Therapy, you can see a licensed PT immediately, start treatment, and get back to your normal activities faster.
