Philosophy our team lives by

We expect full recovery and provide quality physical therapy with a contemporary twist.

RASCAL CREEK PHYSICAL THERAPY is a family owned, physical therapist owned, business and has been since it was founded in 1987. Our goal is to return each patient to their prior levels at home, in the workplace or on the athletic field as quickly as possible. Therapists use evidence based treatments, which are proven effective to meet each patient’s needs and individual goals. Treatment plans are individualized based on your needs and goals. Patient education is a priority. Patients are instructed in home exercises and preventative techniques to help facilitate their recovery. Physicians and insurance companies recognize the superior care their patients receive at RCPT and refer their patients to us with the confidence they will receive appropriate, effective and respectful therapy.

We expect full recovery and provide quality physical therapy with a contemporary twist.

Established in 1987 with one physical therapist, Rascal Creek Physical Therapy now boasts three physical therapists, all of which have their Doctorate in Physical Therapy, DPT, degrees. They also employ a PTA, a full time occupational therapist and a speech therapist and nutritionist to ensure that the whole patient can be treated effectively. Rascal Creek Physical Therapy is sensitive to the needs of their patients extending treatment sessions, as needed, to greater than the standard 60 minutes to ensure that each patient is given quality, individualized care that is evidenced based as well as providing expanded clinic hours as they are open over 12 hours/day three days a week to accommodate all schedules. This high level of care and concern for each patient has established Rascal Creek as a leader in the industry and a respected resource among local and state-wide physicians, who refer their patients to RCPT with confidence. It is also this care, concern and individualized attention that makes the patients return when therapy services are again required and give their highest recommendation to family and friends when they need therapeutic intervention.

WELCOME TO RASCAL CREEK PT

How You Feel Matters to Us...

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by a friendly team that truly cares about helping you feel better — and move better.


Your first visit begins with a one-on-one evaluation with one of our licensed physical therapists. We’ll discuss your medical history, review any current symptoms or concerns, and perform a movement assessment to identify the root cause of your pain or limitations.

Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals — whether that’s recovering from surgery, improving mobility, or getting back to the activities you love. You’ll leave your first appointment with a clear understanding of your diagnosis, a roadmap for your recovery, and confidence that you’re in the right place.

Faster Recovery

Physical therapy helps restore strength, flexibility, and mobility so you can get back to your life quicker and safer.

Avoid Meds/Surgeries

Hands-on, natural treatment can relieve pain and restore function—often without relying on drugs or surgery.

Improve Movement

Whether you’re an athlete, a worker, or simply aging gracefully, physical therapy helps you move better and feel stronger.

Injury Prevention

Our therapists help to identify and correct movement issues that often lead to pain or injuries—so you stay active longer.
