Tideway Physical Therapy has done an excellent job in managing my physical therapy needs. From the front desk, to the actual therapy - it has been a quality experience. My therapist Jason has been both professional, understanding, and knowledgeable. My symptoms have decreased and my understanding about my body and injury have grown. Highly recommend!

Tideway is an exception place!! I have had a lot of physical therapy in the last 20 years and spent many months at TIRR. Their professional approach and staff ‘s knowledge and commitment are as great as TIRR (who is ranked second in the nation). Thanks to their staff, I am well on my way to getting out of my wheelchair and back on crutches!.
