Learn What We Do

Most of us think of physical therapy as hot and cold packs, a few exercises, and maybe some pain. At Charleston Physical Therapy Specialists, our physical therapists and occupational therapists are different.

Instead of using strictly passive modalities, we treat our patients through Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy. You must be evaluated from a mechanical perspective to allow us to fully understand your concern.
The more completely we understand your symptoms, movements, and limitations, the more effectively we can help you help yourself. Our certified PTs and OTs will know after their patient's initial assessment if and how the patient is a candidate for physical therapy.

  • Three Steps to Success

    1. Assessment - a thorough history and testing of movements.

    2. Treatment - individualized exercises based on the patient's response to the assessment.

    ​3. Preventive Strategy - gain hands-on knowledge to prevent future recurrence.

  • Achievable Goals

    ● Abolish pain and deformity.

    ● Maintain the reduction with education and a long-term plan.

    ● Restore full function.

    ● Prevent recurrences.
