About us
Multiple sclerosis
Physical therapy for adults with multiple sclerosis, with visits paced around your energy and work on walking, balance and strength.
MS can change from week to week, so a plan has to bend. We ask how your energy runs through the day and how heat affects you, then build visits and home routines around that. We watch how you walk and balance, and we adjust when something changes.
This care is for you if
You have MS and have noticed changes in walking, balance or leg strength
Your energy changes through the day or the week
Heat or tiredness makes everyday tasks harder
You want to stay active without overdoing it
What we do
Walking and leg strength
Practice and strengthening that fit your energy, with rest built in.
Balance
Standing, stepping and turning, indoors and out, and what to do when you feel unsteady.
Pacing the week
Fitting activity, rest and appointments around your strongest and weakest times of day.
Heat and tiredness
Ways to plan around heat and fatigue, and what to tell your neurologist.

Before you book
What decides how many visits
How your symptoms change, your goals, what your plan allows and what you can practice at home. Good weeks and hard weeks are both part of the plan, and we change the schedule when you need it.
How it is paid for
We bill many kinds of plans, and we give anyone paying without insurance a written estimate before care starts. The front desk checks your benefits before your first visit.
How fees workWhen to see a doctor first
Call your doctor first, or 911 in an emergency, for a new symptom, a sudden change in vision or strength, a fall with a head injury, or anything you think may be a relapse. Talk with your neurologist about medicines and your own care plan. We do not diagnose, and we do not advise on medicines. We work alongside your physician and write to them when your plan changes.
Questions about this care
I have good weeks and hard weeks. Can I still come?
Yes. We plan for that. Tell us how you feel at the start of each visit and we shape the work to match, or move a visit when you need to.
Will exercise make my MS worse?
Your therapist builds the work around your symptoms and your energy, and adjusts if something makes you feel worse. Tell us how you feel at each visit, and talk with your neurologist about your own plan.
Do I need a note from my neurologist?
In Pennsylvania a physical therapist may begin with an evaluation without a referral, but your plan may still ask for one. We explain which applies to you when you call.
