Welcome!
At Gaston Rehab Associates and the Physical Performance Center there is a difference!
We are a physical therapist owned private practice. All of the physical therapists on our staff are trained at a Doctorate of Physical Therapy level of education, which is the highest degree you can earn and demonstrates their committment to the practice of physical medicine.
We do not hire assistants or aides and only perform one on one treatments. That means that each visit you are treated by a Doctor of Physical Therapy with expertise in orthopaedics and sports medicine.
Think there is no difference in physical therapy centers, let us show you the difference.
