The Physical Therapy Place is a locally owned private practice founded in 2000. Joy Backstrum and Katie Piraino founded the practice with a vision to provide exceptional treatment of a wide variety of conditions with a caring, patient focused environment. The aim of physical therapy is to promote healing, restore normal function and improve quality of life. It is our goal to empower each patient to be healthy and be able to perform at their optimum level. This is done through exercise and hands-on treatment.
Joy and Katie each have more than 20 years experience as physical therapists and have both successfully completed an orthopedic residency. We use many different hands on treatment techniques, including joint mobilizations and soft tissue techniques. You will also be given a tailor made program of exercises designed specifically for your condition. This will ensure that we not only treat your problem, but prevent it from coming back. Every opportunity will be given to you to ask questions about your condition and advice regarding management. You will be seen one on one by your physical therapist at each treatment session. Each session lasts 45 minutes and is uniquely designed to meet your needs.
As we specialize in orthopedics and women’s health, we are uniquely positioned to treat the female athlete, pre and post partum patients, back pain, neck pain, headache, osteoporosis and the challenges of hypermobility. Our goal is to provide the highest quality, evidence based physical therapy in a comfortable, patient focused environment.
Please call us (907-569-5557) if you would like to learn more about us, the services we offer, or are interested in making an appointment.
