Active Recovery Physical Therapy

Active Recovery is a physical therapy company focusing on high quality treatment of othropaedic, neurologic, persistent pain, and sports related rehabilitation. While primarily concentrating on rehabilitation from injury and return to function we will also offer specialty evaluations for runners, pain science education with an emphasis on persistent pain, sports assessments and screenings for injury prevention as well as expert level manual therapy, dry needling and blood flow restriction therapy. Active Recovery strives to elevate the status of physical therapy in the community through expertise and excellence in out patient orthopaedics. Currently, Stephen Worrel PT, DPT, OCS, MTC, FAAOMPT, will be the only physical therapist working in the clinic with hopes of soon having additional PTs/PTAs. At this time, he is the only orthopaedic and manual therapy fellowship trained therapist in Hattiesburg as well as one of only a few Orthopedic Certified Specialists through the APTA.

As a company Active Recovery hopes to bring a new standard of physical therapy care to Hattiesburg while also pushing to elevate the status of physical therapy in Mississippi. Our vision is to provide high quality physical therapy treatment by creating an environment of active recovery and expertise through high level training. Our goals are focused on improving every person’s quality of life and will be accomplished through a partnership of patients and providers through therapeutic alliance. We separate ourselves from other providers through the compassionate care delivered from certified specialists in a given field be it orthopaedics, neurological, geriatric, or sports. Our PTAs, while unable to currently receive a specialist status, will complete training under the guidance of Stephen Worrel to elevate their ability to provide high quality care.

Active Recovery will be located in mid-town Hattiesburg due to its convenience and access from both the east and west. Through the use of Hardy Street, people will also be able to use the I-59 and Highway 49 to access our clinic. Mid-town also provides convenience to USM students, as in many cases is an easy walk from class. Hardy Street is known to have over 40,000 cars pass through daily. Its accessibility will provide more people the opportunity to receive the highest quality physical therapy in Hattiesburg.
