When my doctor scheduled me to come here for therapy due to my dizziness and balance issues, frankly, I thought it was stupid...but was I surprised. The therapy works! Niki, my therapist, did wonders! I no longer got dizzy doing daily things. I like the atmosphere here, very friendly.

When I first came in for treatments @ OBTS I was having weakness and instability in my left ankle and foot. I also had right lower extremity pain with walking . With treatments, I am now stronger, flexible on my left leg. Pain is markedly improved with ambulation, thankfully!
I appreciate the friendly personable caring staff and their feedback has been helpful to improve my exercise routine and technique.

PT is normally not fun. Someone suggested looking into OBTS. I did come in and boy what a nice place. Dr. Jane is marvelous, Jenna is wonderful, Niki is fun keeping you in line and Susan is great! I feel like coming home to family each time I come, always welcomed when arriving and acknowledged when leaving. Physical Threrapy has worked for me with a professional team by my side. Thank You all! ~ Linda F.

Have you been feeling shaky and off Balance lately? The culprit might be a weak core! Having a weak core might make you feel unbalanced, but the good news is that physical therapy can help you strengthen your core and improve your balance as well.

Physical therapy should include core strength training. Your core muscles play an important part in keeping you balanced whether you’re sitting, standing, or sprinting. Read our blog to learn more.

Pain can sometimes be the result of an underlying problem, such as a herniated disc. One of the earliest signs of a herniated disc is lower back discomfort, which can range from mild to severe. You might also have weakness, numbness in the legs, or severe and shooting sensations. Patients have also reported losing bladder control as a result of a herniated disc in certain extreme situations.

Herniated discs are most commonly associated with aging, as the spine wears down and becomes more brittle. Read our blog to learn more.

Feeling pretty good! Everyone is polite and professional. I have worked with all of them and each has coached me into working slightly above my level of comfort. I am pleased with the progress I have achieved, a higher level of functionality. I thank them all for this achievement and for their humor and patience with me. They are a great team!

My left arm when I first came in, I could not lift it very high. So now I can lift it up high like you are suppose to do and there is no pain. Being able to lift it up this high is a wonderful thing to do. Niki and Susan were very helpful and they work me good each time too.

"I fell off of my deck and broke my arm in 2 places. A doctor did surgery on one break and he sent me to therapy. I chose to come here because I had been here before and was very happy with the process and the results. I had to stop coming so I could get a shoulder replacement. I, of course, returned and with the sessions and home exercises, I am finally pain free and very mobile. It has been rough but the ladies here at OBTS helped me to get back to my normal self. I would never go anywhere else for PT! The people here are fantastic! Great people and great therapists!!!"

This demand for pain-management drugs has caused the Medition crisis we’re all too familiar with today. Medication are both dangerous and addictive when taken for extended periods of time or in large amounts. Because of this, many Americans are understandably looking for safer pain relief alternatives.
