Spine Physical Therapy

The spine physical therapy team at TOSH is a dynamic group of skilled physical therapists who specialize in caring for patients with neck and back related problems. They make every effort to apply the current best-evidence and emerging new techniques, while tailoring care to the individual needs of their patients.

The large number of patients that choose TOSH for physical therapy allows this team to have a spine specialty program, where therapists can focus on the spine in their education, research, and resources. They are part of a nationally recognized team of therapists, within Intermountain Healthcare, who are not only working in the clinic but are also involved in creating, presenting, and publishing a part of today’s best-evidence.
