Many of the area's best physicians refer their patients to Kassimir Physical Therapy with confidence that they will achieve their highest functional potential in a comfortable and skilled environment. 

Throughout the treatment experience, each patient will receive personalized care from our physical therapists, as well as dedicated assistance in all aspects of the recovery process from our caring staff.  Our large volume of patient referrals and satisfied returning patients are a testament to the quality of care the "Ultimate Rehab" experience provides.

Comprehensive Evaluation

Based on the evaluation, the therapist will develop an individualized treatment plan and establish therapeutic goals based on the patient's needs and the referring provider’s recommendations.
