All physical therapy evaluations and treatment plans are performed by an experienced and licensed therapist.  Please note that our priority is to provide attentive, one-on-one, hands-on care to maximize and speed your recovery.  Additional Island Therapy Center services include massage therapy (by licensed massage therapists) and Pilates individual sessions (by Pilates Method Alliance certified instructor). 

We will help you reduce your pain, discomfort, swelling or dizziness; and help you resume your strength, flexibility, stamina, balance, walking and confidence with your daily activities.  While we pride ourselves with hands-on manual therapy techniques and/or customized therapy programs, modalities such as medical ultrasound, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, paraffin, traction, moist heat and cold packs may also be used to achieve your goals.  A private room is also available.
