Physical Therapy

Our physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving physical function through customized treatment plans. Using evidence-based techniques like manual therapy and dry needling, we address post-surgical recovery, chronic conditions, and sports injuries. Patients receive both in-clinic and virtual care options supported by outcome tracking to ensure measurable progress toward long-term wellness goals.

Workers' Comp Rehab

Specialized rehabilitation programs help injured workers recover functional abilities and return to their jobs safely. We collaborate with employers to create ergonomic solutions while providing targeted therapy for work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Our outcomes-driven approach reduces recovery time and minimizes workplace disability through individualized care plans and progress monitoring.

Sports Medicine

Sports medicine services address athletic injuries through advanced diagnostic techniques and performance-focused rehabilitation. Our board-certified specialists treat ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and concussion symptoms using sport-specific training protocols. The program emphasizes injury prevention education and return-to-play readiness assessments for both professional and recreational athletes.

Women's Health

This specialty program provides discreet care for pelvic floor dysfunction, prenatal/postpartum recovery, and women's wellness concerns. Certified therapists use manual techniques and targeted exercises to address incontinence, pelvic pain, and pregnancy-related discomfort while maintaining patient privacy and comfort throughout treatment.

Hand Therapy

Board-certified hand therapists treat complex hand, wrist, and elbow conditions resulting from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. Custom splinting, scar management, and fine motor skill rehabilitation help patients regain dexterity and functional independence through specialized, intensive therapy protocols.

Questions

Do I need a referral for physical therapy?

Many states allow direct access to physical therapy without a referral. However, some insurance plans may require physician authorization. Contact your local clinic for specific requirements in your area.

What insurance plans do you accept?

We accept most major insurance plans and verify coverage before treatment begins. Our team helps navigate benefits to minimize out-of-pocket costs while ensuring access to necessary rehabilitation services.

Are virtual therapy sessions available?

Yes, we offer secure online physical therapy sessions combining video consultations with digital tools for home exercise programs. Virtual care maintains the same quality standards as in-clinic visits with personalized progress tracking.

What should I wear to appointments?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows movement. Athletic wear and supportive footwear like sneakers are recommended to facilitate assessment and exercise performance during treatment sessions.

How long do therapy sessions last?

Initial evaluations typically take 60-75 minutes. Subsequent treatment sessions range from 45-60 minutes depending on individual care plans and progress toward specific rehabilitation goals established during the initial assessment.

I've been trying to get a refund for overpayment on co-pay for about amonth now. I leave messages and they don't return them. Seems shady.

Received a bill from them for services in January. Patient was taken by someone else but my name was signed as Guarantor. I uploaded insurance to reduce the bill. Insurance was also provided by several phone calls. Second bill comes and shows adjustments but bill was never submitted to insurance. I had my insurance call and asked them to resend. Three months and still never billed to my insurance. Called to speak to a supervisor. They would not put me through or give me any contact info. ABSOLUTELY FRAUDLENT BILLING CONSUMER FRAUD

The worst place. $ 620.65 for first visit, never go, I did 5 visits, I still have the pain, I still have 4 pending visits, and for each invoice I will give a comment on Facebook Instagram Google everywhere to know how to deceive people with abuses with prices, better pay cash and without insurance to get cheaper and better price.

One of the most frustrating companies I've ever had to deal with. They changed their policies multiple times while I was working with them so they could get more money. They made two accounts for the same injury. Highly recommend you avoid ATI.
