Our Mission & Vision
At Bones and Balance Physical Therapy & Rehab our mission is to provide individualized care to everyone regardless of age, and abilities to become independent and successful with their functional goals using various therapeutic techniques, backed by sciences and researches.
Movement Without Pain, Dependence, or Limitations.
Everyone deserves the ability to move freely, confidently, and
within their own physical capabilities—without relying on
supportive or pain-masking medications. True health is not
simply the absence of pain, but the restoration of function,
strength, balance, and control that allows individuals to
participate fully in their daily lives.
