Your body being healthy and mobile is key to your ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life where you are capable of participating in all physical, professional and personal pursuits.

Our job is to help you obtain that healthy body and then to maintain that health so you can lead the life you want. How we do that is by reducing pain, regaining and maintaining your optimal physical health. Our multi-disciplinary approach, treats your whole body (not just points of pain), and is created and continuously tailored to your specific and ever-changing needs.

As physical therapists, we are licensed healthcare professionals. We diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the elderly.  Our patients are anyone that has a medical problem or other chronic condition that limits their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives.

Our process is straight-forward. 

• We provide a thorough examination to uncover the imbalance that is causing your problems usually due to an acute injury or repetitive issues like wear and tear.
• Next, we develop a treatment plan using protocols and techniques specific to the injury and imbalance. The goal of every treatment program is the same; to promote and increase the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. How we accomplish that goal is unique and tailored to each individual patient.
• Finally, once we have addressed the imbalance and created a plan to maintain balance and pain-free function, we must look at lifelong challenges. This involves our work with you, our patient to prevent the loss of mobility before it happens. In other words, we develop a fitness and wellness program to support and better guaranteed a healthier and more active life for you in the long term.

Our dedicated and passionate staff is comprised of Physical Therapists, Physical Therapy Assistants, Physical Therapy Aides, Certified Post Rehabilitation Exercise Specialist, and Massage Therapists.

 AHP Physical Therapy in Norwalk Connecticut Focuses on a Holistic Full Body Treatment

• We provide manual or  “hands-on” therapy techniques throughout each physical therapy session.
• Our on-site, expansive rehabilitation gym offers endless options to work your targeted areas in different ways to maximize healing, provide relief of stiffness, and to challenge your body to recover faster and stronger thereby reducing the likelihood of reinjury.
• We educate every patient on the physical dynamics of their injury and condition. Knowing what caused the problems is a significant component for creating a cure. We then explain how we will rehabilitate the sources of pain, inflammation, and imbalance.  At every step, we want to reduce, or better yet, altogether avoid the need for injections, pain medication, and surgery.
• Finally….We arm you with not only the knowledge of how you can help yourself at home to maintain all that you have gained with in office specialized PT, but we also send you  home with a customized Home Exercise Program that can easily be pulled up on your phone or computer!
