Physical therapy helps patients of all ages regain or improve their physical abilities. • Generally people seek physical therapy when they experience physiological damage or discomfort during daily activities or after an accident. • Physical therapists assist people in maintaining their physical health through use of exercise and equipment to restore or protect their body and overall health.

This is because physical therapy helps patients manage, heal and prevent injuries as well as fortify healthy lifestyle habits. • Physical therapy is non-invasive and greatly improves total body function. These techniques focus on the ergonomics of your body. No matter your age group or lifestyle, physical therapy will perpetuate your overall health and fitness in a life-long beneficial direction.

Core Physical Therapy Clinics Dr. Jason Kart, PT DPT – Physical therapist and owner of Core Physical Therapy Clinics has many years of academic successes in rehabilitative health, receiving him a B.S. in Health and Exercise Science from Syracuse University and Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, MA. Continuing his passion in advanced orthopedic and rehabilitative knowledge, Dr. Kart brings new vision into rehabilitative health by introducing Core Physical Therapy Clinics. “I was fascinated by connection the PT made between a patient’s pathology and the underlying mechanisms that exacerbated their symptoms. When combined with a scientific approach, I saw how effective a physical agent of change could be in providing relief and maximizing function.” - Dr. Jason Kart
