Max Bell has experienced therapists who have worked at this location for over 15 years. Many of these therapists have specialties and therefore the clinic is able to offer many specialized services.
As physical therapists we are trained in managing both acute and chronic pain and issues. Each patient will have a detailed assessment and a treatment plan is developed based on the assessment and goals of each patient.
