I had stubborn shoulder tendonitis for months that made it difficult to work or even change my shirt, but it only took 4 sessions here + regular home exercises to get me feeling back to normal. Thanks!

Very friendly and personable staff. Dr. Dan's diagnostics, a few weeks of visits, and at-home exercise plan has set me up for a full recovery. I'm already back to running, and only wish I had contacted them sooner!

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.

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.
