Why See a Physical Therapist First for Pain?
Physical therapy might not be your first thought when it comes to nagging back pain, annoying headaches or other types of musculoskeletal issues and pain.
There are numerous studies that show a strong benefit when getting treated first by a physical therapist when dealing with musculoskeletal pain (or pain that affects the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves).
Physical therapists are movement advocates and work hard to treat your body naturally without the need for surgery. They also help you learn how to make modifications to every day activities to help you move with confidence and decrease the risk of falls and injury as you get older.
Physical therapists can treat your entire body by identifying the root cause of your pain. And not only do we address the area of pain, but we can teach you how to properly care for your body to decrease the likelihood of future injury.

Patient Testimonials
I am so thankful I was referred to Dr. Minett's office. The staff is very professional, friendly, and was able to accommodate my needs. Dr. Mike's and Dr. Ben's bedside manner is phenomenal. Dr. Mike took the time to educate me about my healing process and made sure I was always comfortable throughout. I will be recommending this office to everyone!

Best PT around the area. Family-like atmosphere, TLC from everyone. I cannot thank Dr. Minett and Dr. Ben enough for the level of care they provide.
Not only are the people here the sweetest, their methods of care are absolutely astounding. I have been suffering with a muscle spasm problem for 1.5 years, and I finally found this place just a short few months ago. And in this span of time they have improved my back pain like no other place has come close to doing, and I believe this is the place to eventually bring me to 100%.
Great staff! I was injured in a car accident where my neck received a couple irritated disks. The staff here treated me like royalty and tended to my every need. Everytime I left total health and rehab I felt amazing and refreshed. Not only that but due to my busy school and work schedule they were always able to make an appointment that suited me. Total rehab is underrated with their performance. Great place to select if your having some pains here and there

Here Are Some Commonly Asked Questions About Our Customized Physical Therapy Offerings:
Q. Who provides physical therapy?
A. Physical therapy is provided by a doctor of physical therapy. Should you have a variety of health concerns such as sports medicine, spinal conditions, arthritis, post-surgical rehab, and other orthopedic conditions, it may be beneficial to consult a doctor with a trained physical therapy staff to learn more about the array of natural, non-invasive services that could be used during your course of treatment.
Q. Is a prescription necessary for physical therapy?
A. While a prescription from your primary care physician isn’t necessary to seek physical therapy, you may wish to obtain one in order for it to be covered by your health insurance. Many insurance providers need a prescription before they’ll reimburse you for an appointment.
Q. What should I wear to my physical therapy appointment?
A. Due to the nature of physical therapy exercises and stretches, loose-fitting clothing is recommended to allow for your full range of comfortable movement. This will allow us to easily access your injured area(s). Should you need to change clothes at our facility, we recommend you arrive a little early.
Q. How long are physical therapy appointments?
A. Physical therapy appointments last approximately 1 hour per session. We try to make it as convenient as possible for you, so as not to disrupt your daily routine.
