Our Facility

At Optimal Care Physical Therapy, we are proud to offer a wide range of services designed to meet the unique needs of each of our clients. Our facility is one of the few that provides Active Release Techniques (ART) performed by Dr. Tricia Rosario, who has expertise in diagnosing and treating various conditions such as headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, and many more.

Preventive Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can be used not only as a treatment method but also as a preventative measure. Preventative physical therapy is essential in helping patients maintain an active lifestyle and avoid injuries that can hinder their daily activities. Our team of experienced physical therapists works with patients to create personalized plans that keep them active and healthy.

Active Release Technique (ART)

ART is a non-invasive treatment system that locates and resolves soft-tissue disorders quickly and efficiently. This hands-on treatment is an effective method of diagnosing and treating various conditions, allowing patients to recover from injuries and reduce pain. Our team of certified ART practitioners has helped many patients recover from injuries and improve their range of motion and overall well-being.

Athletes

As a competitive runner and athlete herself, Dr. Tricia Rosario has a unique understanding of the physical demands and mental challenges affecting the recovery and performance of endurance athletes. She provides specialized care for young athletes and extreme sports athletes, revealing underlying muscle imbalances and weaknesses, and prescribing exercises specific to each athlete's needs to help maximize their performance.

What Our Customers Have to Say

John Rose - I have been seeing Tricia at Optimal Care Physical Therapy for many years now. She and her staff have always been willing to accommodate me when in significant pain. Tricia is highly knowledgeable, approachable, and skilled at what she does.

Lisa Moran - Optimal Care Physical Therapy is the best of the best! They are always accommodating and willing to work with my schedule to get me in for treatments. I have never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen by a therapist. Tricia is highly knowledgeable, approachable, and skilled at what she does.

Lin Mei Li - For the past 3 months, I have been experiencing moderate back & hip pain, coupled with numbness in my right foot that would last for 2+ hours at a time. I went to see two different doctors, who both claimed that I was too young to have any back or hip problems and dismissed me with pain medication. After seeing Tricia, she quickly diagnosed my issue, and I am now on my way to recovery.
