Patient Story:

When I broke my ankle this year, I was looking for somewhere close to my apartment and found House of Physical Therapy. This place exceeded all expectations! Jillian and the entire team have helped build back my strength and confidence. She really cares about your progress and her attention to detail to help correct even the slightest movements (that I wasn't even aware of) has made a huge difference when I'm working out on my own.

There are no machines, but this is actually one of the things I love because you can actually transfer all of the workouts to home.

Couldn't recommend this place more. Oh, and there's a cute dog that greets you every time you come in.

To book a session with Dr. Jillian - and her cute dog Daisy - fill out our form on the schedule page and select "Video Session". Virtual physical therapy appointments are a great way to build your strength and confidence back. Even on Zoom, Dr. Jillian zones in on every detail to help correct even the slightest movements. Learning the form adjustments you might not even be aware of can make the difference in progress when you work out on your own.
