Our vision is to provide high quality physical therapy treatment by creating an environment of active recovery and expertise through high level training. Our goals are focused on improving every person’s quality of life and will be accomplished through a partnership of patients and providers through therapeutic alliance. We separate ourselves from other providers through the compassionate care delivered from certified specialists in a given field be it orthopaedics, neurological, geriatric, or sports. Our PTAs, while unable to currently receive a specialist status, will complete training under the guidance of Stephen Worrel to elevate their ability to provide high quality care. Active Recovery will be located in mid-town Hattiesburg due to its convenience and access from both the east and west. Through the use of Hardy Street, people will also be able to use the I-59 and Highway 49 to access our clinic. Mid-town also provides convenience to USM students, as in many cases is an easy walk from class. Hardy Street is known to have over 40,000 cars pass through daily. Its accessibility will provide more people the opportunity to receive the highest quality physical therapy in Hattiesburg.

💪 Motivation Monday Check-In!
Active Recovery has been lively all day!

We’re halfway through August and we’re wondering how are those squats going?!

Remember, the challenge is 5 simple squats a day, a small step that makes a big difference in strength, mobility, and mood.

If you’ve stayed consistent, amazing! Keep it up. 🙌

If you’ve fallen off, no worries… it’s never too late to start again. Just take a minute today, drop into a squat, and feel your body thank you.

Let’s finish this month strong, Hattiesburg! Who’s still in? Drop a 💙 if you’re keeping up with the challenge.

Q: Is physical therapy just for people recovering from surgery or injury?

A: Not at all! While PT is a key part of post-surgery and injury recovery, it’s also for preventing injuries, improving mobility, managing chronic pain, and helping you move better at any stage of life.

From athletes to grandparents, physical therapy keeps you strong, active, and doing what you love… before, during, and after challenges arise.

💙 At Active Recovery, our goal is to help Hattiesburg move, heal, and thrive, no matter where you are in your journey.
