From major details such as treatment model and staff to patient ratio, to minor touches of vibe and decor, every PT clinic is different. Remember that you have the right to choose where you go for physical therapy! Do your homework and research the clinic or therapist ahead of time. Finding the best link for you will help you feel more connected and confident in your rehab process.

Today is World Down Syndrome Day, and we would like to give a huge shoutout to one of our favorite people: Ryan Waddell (Julia Edwards Waddell, Jerry Waddell). Ryan has an amazing resume including professional photography, and is referred to by many as the official unofficial town mayor as he knows just about everyone on the island. We are honored to have several of his framed and canvas prints in our clinic, and his photo calendar in our front office. Ryan loves bringing joy to others - he makes a point to visit CBPT dressed in full Santa gear every Christmas. Enjoy your day, Ryan! Thank you for including us in your circle.
