Sports Physical Therapy
Specialized treatment for athletes recovering from injuries or seeking performance improvement. Our board-certified therapists address conditions like torn ACLs, meniscus injuries, and rotator cuff issues using sports-specific techniques. Programs combine kinesio taping, strength training, and biomechanical analysis to restore function while preventing future injuries. Treatment protocols adapt to individual sport requirements and competition schedules.
Aquatic Therapy
Utilizing the SwimEx Aquatic Therapy Pool for low-impact rehabilitation. Buoyancy reduces joint stress while resistance enhances muscle development. Ideal for post-surgical recovery, chronic pain management, and mobility restoration. Custom protocols progress from basic movement to sport-specific training using adjustable water currents up to 6.5 mph, accommodating conditions from arthritis to spinal injuries.
Dry Needling
Evidence-based treatment for myofascial pain using thin filament needles. Targets hyperactive muscle areas to reduce inflammation and improve range of motion. Performed by certified therapists in sterile conditions, this technique addresses chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural imbalances. Sessions often produce immediate symptom relief with progressive improvement over multiple treatments.
SwingMAX Golf Training
Biomechanics-focused program enhancing golf swing efficiency and preventing injuries. Combines posture analysis, strength training, and on-range instruction to optimize body mechanics. Utilizes specialized equipment like the All Turf Golf Gym to address muscle imbalances.

You absolutely cannot go wrong with these great folks. Sad to say that over the years I've had the need to use PT several times for various reasons. I will not go anywhere else now. They were accurate, clear, worked me hard when necessary and was gentle when the need was there and encouraged me to listen to my body while also challenging me. They were nice, the office was super clean. Brad was my PT and I just loved him. Professional, personable and smart with his diagnosis!

The work they do is wonderful. But when it comes down to it they "estimate" a number and charge you and then months later charge you for dates that had perviously been visited. If you want to be squeezed by a billing company this is the place to go. If you'd rather get treatment without getting taken advantage of visit another Physical therapist.

I have been going to PT in Middletown on and off for over a year. Brad, Ashley and Kyle (and the Techs) have helped me through my rehab for two total knee replacements and for Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). At 6 weeks with my second knee replacement I was bending to 120 degrees and full extension! I cannot say enough great things about the care I have received. Between their professionalism, knowledge, compassion and sense of humour, therapy has been a joy. And Laura, the receptionist, always greets you with a wonderful smile and is extremely accommodating. Thank you for taking such great care of me.
