Why people choose East Mountain Physical Therapy
One-on-one care
We schedule one patient per hour for each PT, OT, & PTA. You will receive individualized attention for the entirety of your appointment.
Total body approach
All EMPT physical therapists, occupational therapists, and licensed assistants have advanced training in manual therapy techniques designed to reduce pain, restore normal alignment, and improve overall function throughout the body. We treat the body as a whole, rather than focusing on just one specific joint.
Physical and occupational therapy at all locations
Patients who would benefit from both PT and OT can conveniently be scheduled for both therapies at the location of their choice.
Chronic pain specialist
We have a therapist who has over 30 years' experience treating and managing chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Patients who have tried traditional therapy without results have experienced incredible pain relief after being seen by our chronic pain specialist.
Team approach to treatment
Our physical therapy team is led by a physical therapist who creates and oversees every patient's plan of care. Each clinic has experienced physical therapist assistants who progress patients through their treatment plan. If you prefer to be seen by a specific therapist or assistant each visit, simply let the front desk know, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Experience treating all conditions for all ages
Our therapists have a wide variety of experience in different settings which enables them to provide specialized treatment for a wide variety of conditions and ages. This allows East Mountain residents to get high quality care close to home.

I had Physical Therapy at EMPT a few years ago and recently had to go back. Even though the faces are different, everyone is still amazing. The Receptionists greet you with a smile and are courteous and helpful. The Physical Therapists are professional, knowledgeable and work with you to come up with a plan for treatment that will help meet your goals. Thank you to all the staff at EMPT
