Hands down the best physical therapy experience I've ever had.

They use Force meters to actually capture scientific data they can use as a metric for measuring your progress and to help identify which exercises are needed from a zoomed out holistic approach

The environment is fun to be in, clean and inviting.

The staff is professional and courteous and I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone that needs real results.

Peter Dills is an outstanding PT. His depth of understanding of body mechanics never ceases to amaze me. He always has an adjustment or modification, or progression to offer if any of the therapeutic exercises are not working for me. The front desk staff is so kind and welcoming.

Absolutely the best care I have received from any PT has been with Dr. Britt Lademann at PACE. She has provided evidence based, well thought out treatments that meet my goals of becoming an athlete again. After a year of and a half of life changing, sport induced tendinopathy, with no improvement from other PTs, I am finally making major strides in recovery. Developing exercise programs to rebuild tendons is a delicate science. The exercises I am given address the root cause of the issue using the most up to date methods. I feel like I am at an athlete’s PT, where they are trying to get me back to full function, not just prescribe the same, tired, simple pain mitigation strategies.
Don’t waste your time at other PTs.
A tremendous thank you to Dr. Lademann and the team at PACE for helping me start to get my life back 🙏

While each aspect of setting SMART goals matters, what truly distinguishes the successful endeavors from the unsuccessful is whether or not the goals matter to the person setting them. When a goal is autonomous there is a greater willingness to push toward success, even in the face of adversity.
Goals fall within two basic categories — outcome goals and process goals. One rarely works without the other — what you want (your outcome goal) depends on you focusing on all the things you will need to do to achieve it (your process goals) and success does not lie solely...

PT Cohort

The PT Cohort is a year-long program that includes four sessions (one per quarter). Each session includes a day of learning and professional development along with social events in the evening after each session. 

The desired outcome of the PT Cohort is build connections with other PT and teammates, grow knowledge of the company, understand foundational clinical frameworks, learn about clinical growth opportunities, and feeling excited about the opportunity to align your role with your personal values.

Clinical Mentorship

We support therapists in building clinical practice skills such as differential diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. Mentorship also supports therapists in building a general professional skillset, including leading a team, schedule management, optimizing workflows, interprofessional relationship building and personal education plan development.

Our program offers a 1:1 mentorship with a fellowship trained certified mentor, scheduled study groups, and monthly office hours. 

Orthopedic Residency Program

The most comprehensive and intensive clinical education program that Therapeutic Associates (TAI) offers is our Orthopedic Residency Program. Our mission is to deliver a high quality and sustainable Orthopedic Residency Program that facilitates the development of advanced learner providers with superior orthopedic clinical management skills.

Our goal is to create practitioners who become Board Certified in Orthopedics and who obtain specialty certification in Manual Therapy (NAIOMT CMPT) to better serve our patients. Residents broadly gain orthopedic and manual therapy skills and may specifically focus on an area of clinical interest that directs projects and other work.
