- Discussing your symptoms in detail
- Detecting risk factors associated with the condition
- Observing your ability to move, stand, walk and do other movements
- Conducting a hands-on physical assessment
- Developing a custom treatment in line with your goals, challenges and needs.

Jared and his team are amazing! I went in for problems with my hip after a car accident. This was the first time I have ever had to do physical therapy and I LOVED it! They were patient with me and very kind! Once they pinpointed the muscle that was giving me grief and worked on it, it was like a night and day difference. They taught me how to do some of the stretches and workouts at home even if I didn’t have all the equipment they used on me there. I also appreciate their follow up with me after I’ve completed treatment, letting me know I can go back if I have any problems. I would definitely recommend Jared and his team hands down, and go back if needed! Thanks guys!
