Physical therapy is a form of
treatment that uses physical activity, body movements, and
non-invasive procedures, rather than drugs or surgery, to treat
conditions that cause pain and limit a person's ability to move or
perform functional activities. Physical therapy is performed by
licensed physical therapists that are legally, ethically, and morally
responsible for the evaluation and treatment of their patients.

The goal of Air
Physical Therapy is to educate the patient about their condition in
order to help them understand the importance of their treatment.
This is achieved by limiting the number of patients seen per hours so
that each patient gets the attention they deserve to yield a more
successful recovery.
The structure and
design of the clinic allows for each patient to have their own room to
comfortably and privately perform their exercises and receive
treatment. The clinic also works in conjunction with Meyer's
Fitness Club to allow for a wider variety of exercises and equipment.
AIR PHILOSOPHY
AIR Physical
Therapy is committed to providing customized physical therapy to each
patient. AIR Physical Therapy believes that customized therapy is
vital to the most complete recovery. At AIR Physical Therapy, this is
achieved through one-on-one attention by the therapist. The number of
patients scheduled per hour is limited which allows the needs of each
individual patient to be fulfilled. AIR Physical Therapy strives to
help patients achieve optimal physical health and overall well-being.
The focus is on empowering patients by educating them on their
condition and providing them with tools to treat their problem.
