Physical Therapy

At South River, we apply tried and true, scientifically proven methods to fit each of our clients’ needs. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy will work with you to develop a treatment plan that best fits your individual needs.

From your very first visit, you will have a one-on-one evaluation with a physical therapist to get to the root cause of the issue you are experiencing. We will bring you to a better state of wellbeing by treating the whole condition and not only what is experiencing pain at the time. 


Once you are better, you will be given a comprehensive home exercise program to help prevent future injuries. In addition, you can transition to one of the performance programs we offer with Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialists. These programs can be built to help improve your health or performance depending on the goals you have after recovery.

What People Are Saying

Justin was able to quickly determine the root cause of my pain and offer quick relief through a brief, yet intentional therapy session. He gave suggestions for a long-term solution through exercises and adjustments to my posture. I appreciated that he followed up with me the next day and requested updates on my overall strength and performance as I implement the changes he suggested.
Not even three months since I had major neck spine surgery and I am heading back to crossfit. I will have some limitations for the next three months, but Justin Demitt knew I wanted to get back to what I love doing and my physical therapy was tailored to achieve this. I always said Justin had eyes in the back and side of his head because he saw everyone at all times and ensured that everyone was doing the movements properly. He could also read my expressions and knew when I was having a painful day and knew exactly what to do to make me feel better. Highly recommended!!
