Tao of Physical Therapy

Tao of Physical Therapy is a physical therapy and wellness practice based in the Midlands of South Carolina. I am a solo practitioner who treats a large variety of orthopaedic and neurologic conditions. I began this practice as a concierge based service to client's homes during the pandemic. When the world re-opened, it became apparent that the lack of physical activity during pandemic shutdowns had become detrimental to health, especially for those who already deal with neurodegenerative diseases.

The "Tao" in Tao of Physical Therapy means "the way." This is a common phrase in East Asian martial arts practices, because every form describes a path to mastery. As a long-time martial artist, I find close similarities in the physical therapy practice. As the provider, I am constantly honing my skills to become more effective for my patient/client. I believe physical therapy should never be fully passive. The patient/client also has to be involved in their recovery and growth and mastery, which ultimately means exercise and practice with repetition and intensity to achieve motor learning. 

Physical therapy and wellness services at Tao of PT are available for all, regardless of the complexity and body region. Services are rendered on a cash-based model, allowing for a holistic practice for maximum outcomes. We can only restore balance by addressing the entire human system. Welcome to Tao of Physical Therapy.
