Reach your full potential.
From birth through aging and all of life’s adventures in between, physical therapy can help you live your active lifestyle with less pain and more ease.
Your best possible life is our Life’s Work.
Life’s Work is not your average physical therapy clinic. We’re experts at successfully treating all types of pain, from sports injuries to the kinds of chronic and complex pain that many physical therapists prefer to steer clear of. Physical therapy is also great for people who have undergone surgery or who have no pain at all. We would love to help you meet your fitness goals, live an active life, and prevent future injuries.
Our emphasis on evidence-based practice and personalized treatment allow us to succeed where other medical professionals have failed. Whether you hurt your back or twisted your knee yesterday, have been dealing with pain for 50 years, or just want to increase your activity level safely, we can help.
Do What Works
There is a reason that our client outcomes and research show a quality of care that is higher than the local and national average.
A Guided Process
We are here to guide you through the entire process. Our personalized approach is more than a massage; it’s a master plan.
Professional Treatment
Our evidence-based practice takes you from surviving to thriving. Our hight level of customer service is focused on you, and your best possible life.
You may be resigned to living with pain and discomfort.
Many of us believe that pain is just part of life, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you need an intensive treatment plan to recover from a debilitating event, or a new way to think about how you move in the world, our physical therapists can help. Together, we will customize a plan to get you back to what you enjoy most—and age greatly, not just gracefully!
Why We Are Different
At Life’s Work, we recognize that no two injuries are exactly the same. Your body, your situation, and your lifestyle are unique to you. That means your treatment needs to be unique too. We treat each person as an individual in every aspect of our care, from the initial diagnosis, to treatment, and beyond.
Evidence-based practice
At Life’s Work, we never stop learning and improving as physical therapists. Clinical research and results tracking are essential to our comprehensive approach to care. Life’s Work is also an established training center for orthopedic manual physical therapists, under the guidance of fellows of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. This results in hundreds of hours of clinician mentoring along with the mandatory 60 hours of continuing education expected annually from our therapists.
From Our Clients
The people who work with us conclude their treatment feeling confident and excited for the future. They have a new understanding of their bodies and are ready to enjoy the activities they love with the tools and knowledge they need to stay strong and healthy. Let’s get you back to living your life to the fullest.
