Whether therapy is performed in our clinic OR at your home...

All our patients receive up to one hour of DIRECT care with an experienced, licensed, expert level physical or occupational therapist.
Our therapists schedule ONLY one patient per hour.
NO “bouncing around” between patients.
NO distractions for the therapist.
NO unlicensed aides supervising the exercises, just focused therapy dedicated to the patient.
Focused, hands-on therapy dedicated to the patient.
Every session is with the SAME therapist.

Many therapy clinics advertise that they treat one on one… but when you get there, you end up receiving 10-15 minutes of face time with the physical therapist because they are scheduling 3-4 patients per hour. Additionally, many times the exercises are supervised by an unlicensed aide or assistant.

THERAPY CLINIC

Our therapy clinic is modern, open and spacious and has very specialized rehab equipment, such as full-length parallel bars, stand along stairs, Nustep T5, rehabilitation treadmill, lumbar and cervical traction, and cold laser, among other equipment. This variety of equipment is not typically found in most outpatient therapy clinics.

Back To Health’s combination of focused, patient-centric care in addition to our specialized equipment and time dedication to each and every patient has proven to have successful physical and occupational therapy results!

Success Stories

Matthew Modell

I am so happy I chose Back to Health therapy because they helped get my knee healed. Every day I walk in there everyone always has a positive attitude while challenging me to get better! The exercises that I did were fun and engaging and it helped me get stronger.

Gladys Rosenstein

Mitch is warm, friendly, encouraging and always willing to listen. When I started therapy I had a very painful right arm and numbness in my fingers. After working with Mitch, I now have much reduced numbness and greater movement in my shoulder and significantly less pain. The facility of Back to Health has state of art equipment, is open, filled with light and immaculate. The care and atmosphere here is excellent.

Dovid Wertenteil

I had bad knee pain in both my knees because of a previous injury for two months before coming to physical therapy. When I arrived at Back to Health I had a goal to go on a snowboarding trip a month away. With the help of Mitch and the staff, I was able to snowboard in Utah for 2 weeks! They were very accommodating and helpful in every step towards my physical goal. Highly recommend Back to Health.

Victoria Ostolozaga

I take my father, who is 90 years old, here for physical therapy twice a week. He suffered a fractured hip and was capable of only taking a few steps on his own post-surgery. He is now up to 200 steps and doing exceptionally well. I can not thank Dr. Mitch and his staff enough for their professionalism, kindness, and patience. I highly recommend Back to Health Physical Therapy!

Len Thaler

My experience at Back to Health Physical Therapy has been outstanding.The most important factor is that the patient gets one on one therapy with the therapist himself, never with an assistant or an aide. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming,they work with your schedule in making appointments, and the personal attention is like nothing I have experienced elsewhere.

Elaine Reinheimer

I have suffered for many years with knee issues. After having Total Knee Replacement surgery I went to Back to Health Physical Therapy for my physical therapy. Mitch gave me tremendous encouragement to work hard and made sure I received the maximum benefit from his hands-on work, in addition to the extensive array of therapy equipment that his practice has. I HIGHLY recommend Back to Health Physical Therapy to anyone in need of therapy services!

Alyce Stein

Back to Health is a great place for therapy. Mitch Simpson and his crew are kind, compassionate and most helpful in bringing you back to health.

Jerry Baer

I came to physical therapy because I had back pain with pain radiating down my leg. Before starting therapy I couldn’t walk for too long without having pain and it was very hard for me to get up from the floor. My doctor referred me to Back to Health Physical Therapy and now I am feeling much better! My back and leg pain is negligible. I am now able to walk for a long period without having to stop because of the pain. I can now get up off the floor on my own, using my own muscles. I feel that coming to Back to Health Physical Therapy gave me a chance to be more independent and helped me with my back pain. I would highly recommend Back to Health Physical Therapy to anyone needing physical Therapy.
