Personalized Physical Therapy in Metairie
Founded in 2018 by Lauren Manna and Christy Shea, our clinic was established to address the growing need for personalized physical therapy solutions. With over six years of prior experience in traditional clinics, we recognized a shift toward productivity-driven care that compromised patient outcomes. Our practice focuses on one-on-one sessions that prioritize individualized treatment plans, combining physical therapy with wellness services like Pilates and massage. We specialize in helping active adults aged 40-60+ overcome chronic pain and mobility issues through evidence-based techniques.Our approach emphasizes patient education, root-cause analysis, and long-term wellness strategies rather than temporary fixes. The clinic's name reflects our collaborative care model where patients and therapists work together toward recovery goals. We offer complimentary discovery visits to ensure proper treatment fit and maintain transparent communication throughout the care process. Our team's expertise spans back pain, knee pain, sciatica, and age-related mobility challenges, with a particular focus on non-invasive alternatives to surgery and medication.
