At Premier Physical Therapy, you are treated as an individual. Our patient-centered care means you are very involved in your own treatment. We want to focus solely on you with the best quality treatment. Dr. Karr, does not believe in No Pain, No Gain. She believes in first minimizing pain, through use of hands-on therapies including massage and joint mobilization. She then focuses on gaining strength and flexibility through individually designed exercise program that fits the patients schedule and goals. This approach allows you to recover more quickly, and avoids compensation patterns that can occur if strengthening is introduced before pain control.
