Physical Therapy
You deserve an active, pain-free life. If a chronic condition or recent injury has left you hurting, Leon is here to help. Our team of physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, licensed massage therapists and physical therapy aids will help you reach your goals.
We offer treatments and therapies that support muscle strength and improved balance, and help reduce pain. And with a physical therapy location at each of Leon’s seven centers, our expert team is where you need it, when you need it.
You can count on Leon to help you restore movement and improve your quality of life. We offer all of this while also caring for you with the white-glove service that Leon is known for.
Quick Access to Care
Physical therapy is a vital step in your recovery after an orthopedic surgery. At Leon, you’ll never have to wait to get moving. You’ll see our physical therapy team the day after you’re discharged from the hospital. We’ll get started right away with an initial evaluation and will work with you to make a treatment plan. If you need transportation to and from physical therapy appointments, Leon will drive you free of charge.
Healing Beyond Physical Therapy
Your healing doesn’t stop when you complete physical therapy. At Leon Medical Centers, six of our seven physical therapy sites are located next to our Healthy Living Centers. This gives you easy access to the next stage in your recovery.
At our Healthy Living Centers, you can work on more advanced movements and join classes to build strength and improve balance and coordination. These include Tai Chi, dance and core strengthening.
