We are conveniently located at 1317-A N. Brightleaf Blvd, Smithfield NC 27577. Why Advanced Physical Therapy of Smithfield? At Advanced Physical Therapy of Smithfield, we are dedicated in providing each patient the highest quality of personalized care that will quickly get you back to your normal lifestyle. Our commitment is to provide superior care using the most innovative treatment techniques and philosophies, that includes soft and deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and joint and neural mobilization techniques. We strongly believe that patient education and understanding of their condition is of the utmost importance. Sufficient time is allotted to not only perform a thorough initial examination, but also to keep the patient actively involved in their own care throughout the course of therapy. Treatment will be provided by a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Board Certified Orthopaedic Specialist (OCS), a specialty held by 1% of all physical therapists in the state of North Carolina. Our Mission The mission of Advanced Physical Therapy of Smithfield is to treat each patient as if they are family by restoring their full physical health and creating a health conscious lifestyle. Every physical therapy treatment is personalized to the patient's condition and incorporates the skilled intervention of a physical therapist through therapeutic modalities, joint and muscular specific manual techniques, and a progressive individualized exercise program.   Why We Are Different We strongly believe that every person's body is different, and needs to be treated as such. A cookie cutter approach to a single diagnosis is never beneficial to a patient, and we take great pride in carefully evaluating every aspect of an individual at their initial examination. There is never a time limit set on a patient's treatment program, and patient care always comes first, whether they require 30 minutes or 2 hours of therapy. You can also feel confident that the level of treatment given is of the highest in the field of physical therapy. Aside from having a Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) and being an Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS), your therapist will also keep up to date with the all the latest treatment strategies via literature reviews and continuing education courses. Your professional staff has taken advanced manual therapy courses and has traveled across the country (NY, MA, TN, MD, PA, FL, NV, NJ, TX, NC) to attend numerous physical therapy conferences. We are different for a number of reasons, a few which were noted above, but most of all we know that your progress and experience with us will undoubtedly make us the best.
