Our Team
At Pappas OPT, we work hard to ensure that long-lasting pain relief is possible for our patients.
That’s why our entire team of physical and occupational therapists have Masters or are working toward Doctoral level degrees, and most hold more certifications like Orthopedic Clinical Specialists (OCS), Sports Certified Specialists (SCS), and Certified Hand Therapist (CHT).
Our shared standards:
Providing long-lasting solutions by understanding and teaching the physical, mental, and emotional experience behind your pain or recovery.
Ensuring compassionate care that connects how the brain works (neuroscience) with how the body moves (biomechanical science).
Treating patients like family and providing a solid foundation for connection and healing.
