Dr. Erin Tanner, Orthopedic Physical Therapy for Pain & Movement

Orthopedic Physical Therapy

Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on how your body moves and why pain, stiffness, or recurring injuries may be occurring. Care is designed to address the underlying contributors to symptoms, not just the area that hurts.
