Liverpool Physical Therapy

Welcome to Liverpool Physical Therapy, the Syracuse region's premier source for outpatient physical therapy since 2005. Our goal is to exceed expectations by providing the highest quality service in a comfortable and caring atmosphere, helping our patients achieve their physical therapy goals. As a privately owned and operated facility, with the owners practicing on-site, our patients receive quality care and personal attention that may not be available at larger corporate facilities. We are dedicated to ensuring that every patient is treated with compassion, care, and expertise.

Our Services

At Liverpool Physical Therapy, we focus on providing individualized care for every patient. We work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a plan tailored to your specific condition. Our practice takes a hands-on approach, using manual therapy as a specialty. Our therapists are trained in the McKenzie approach for evaluating and treating patients with neck or back problems, but we do not limit our treatments to only McKenzie protocol. We believe in ongoing education and require our therapists to participate in continuing education courses to stay current with the latest research and evidence-based practice to maximize outcomes.

When you come to Liverpool Physical Therapy, you will meet with a therapist for an initial evaluation and will continue care with the same therapist throughout your time in therapy. We do not shuffle patients around! If you have a difficult or complex case, your therapist may bring in another therapist for a second opinion to ensure you receive the best, most appropriate care possible. We provide a wide range of therapies, including therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization, massage, myofascial release, manipulation, neuromuscular re-education, neurological rehab, balance training, traction, hot/cold packs, and electrical stimulation.

We treat various conditions, including back and neck pain, headaches, rotator cuff injuries, shoulder and arm pain, work injuries, spinal disorders, elbow, wrist, hand pain, auto accident injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, hip and leg pain, athletic injuries, sprains and strains, knee pre- and post-surgical pain, arthritis, joint pain, foot and ankle pain, dizziness, and balance problems. Additionally, we offer neurological rehab for stroke recovery and balance training.

Our practice emphasizes the importance of an active role in the development of an individualized plan of care based on your needs. We provide a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, using the latest state-of-the-art equipment available in the field. Our goal is to enable you to have fun and enjoy your time in the clinic while achieving your personal goals.
