Physical therapy is defined as treating disease, injury, or deformity by physical methods such as exercise and activity rather than by drugs or surgery. Physical therapists are masters of movement and can help you unlock your body's potential. It takes about seven years to obtain your Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, where we learn the ins and outs of how your body works and how it pertains to activity. We are the only health profession focusing purely on what happens when you move and how your body reacts to exercise. Function is our passion.

As of 2015, all fifty states have direct access. You have to power to choose which physical therapist you want to see, and you can do so WITHOUT getting a referral from your physician. This means Physical Therapists have the power to be the go-to provider for clients with musculoskeletal conditions —with or without a physician's prescription. We treat clients in-person and virtually in Rhode Island and Connecticut and follow the unique set of laws in each state regarding direct access to physical therapy. We are always happy to accept physician referrals and collaborate with your provider and healthcare team.

Your Physical Therapist will work with you to set goals and a time frame to achieve those goals. Session frequency and duration is unique for every person and is adjusted based on your physical activity tolerance, level of mobility, willingness to participate, and your goals.

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy and Wellness, LLC we do not believe in “good bye.” There are few things more satisfying than helping a client reach his or her rehabilitation and fitness goals, but getting there is only half the battle. Maintaining a high level of fitness and pain-free movement takes a lifetime commitment. For this reason, INSPIRE offers a Transition to Wellness Program – an opportunity for our clients to “graduate” from physical therapy into a more independent exercise program. It works like this: After completing formal physical therapy services, all INSPIRE Physical Therapy clients are offered the opportunity to continue working with their Doctor of Physical Therapy to set up a wellness program. The goal is to maintain – perhaps even exceed – the goals accomplished during formal treatments but under the informal supervision of our therapists. Please see our Wellness page for more details, including membership options and rates.
