Services
Manual Therapy
Our manual therapy uses hands-on techniques like myofascial release and joint mobilization to treat musculoskeletal pain. This approach addresses tissue restrictions and biomechanical imbalances causing symptoms in areas like necks, backs, and joints. Patients receive individualized treatment plans combining posture correction, functional exercises, and soft tissue manipulation for lasting pain relief.
Pelvic Therapy
Specialized pelvic floor therapy treats conditions affecting bowel, bladder, and sexual function. Our therapists use internal and external manual techniques to address muscle dysfunction, scar tissue, and nerve issues causing chronic pelvic pain. This one-on-one treatment includes patient education about pelvic anatomy and personalized exercise programs for long-term improvement.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. This non-invasive treatment accelerates recovery for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and sports injuries by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. Patients typically see significant improvement after 3-4 sessions, with treatment plans ranging from 8-12 visits.
Mobility Classes
Our progressive mobility classes improve functional movement and prevent pain recurrence. These small-group sessions combine therapeutic exercises with postural training to enhance strength, flexibility, and body mechanics. Classes are structured in multiple difficulty levels to accommodate varying abilities, from beginners with mobility challenges to active individuals seeking performance improvement.
Telehealth Consultations
Telehealth services provide remote access to our evaluation process and treatment guidance. During hour-long virtual sessions, therapists review medical histories, discuss symptoms, and recommend local treatment options. This service benefits patients outside our service area or those needing initial assessment before in-person visits, with personalized care plans developed during each consultation.

Questions
What makes Core PT different from other physical therapy clinics?
We focus on identifying biomechanical root causes through our Inclusion Method, combining detailed patient histories with comprehensive physical assessments to address underlying imbalances rather than just managing symptoms.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
Your initial 60-minute session includes a complete medical history review, movement pattern assessment, and hands-on treatment. Therapists will explain their findings and develop a personalized treatment plan targeting the source of your pain.
How effective is shockwave therapy for arthritis?
Clinical results show 81.92% functional improvement for bone-on-bone knee arthritis patients. This non-invasive treatment stimulates tissue regeneration and reduces inflammation, often eliminating the need for knee replacement surgery.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
Most patients require 12 sessions for comprehensive treatment. Progress is evaluated regularly, with some resolving issues in 8-10 sessions while others need extended care for complex, long-standing conditions.
Do you accept insurance?
We participate with most major insurance plans for manual therapy and mobility classes. Pelvic therapy accepts Medicare only, while shockwave therapy and telehealth consultations are self-pay services with super bill options for reimbursement.
