St. Louis Physical Therapy and Behavioral Health

At CORE Services, you will receive one-on-one treatment every visit with the same physical therapist. While we believe that every person must take an active role in his or her treatment and recovery, we also believe that we are your partner on your journey to better health. Every body and every problem is different. By using hands-on treatment by the the therapist on a consistent basis, we are better able to understand your body and your concerns. You are likely to experinece changes as your health improves and our one-on-one approach enables us to help you adapt and continue to improve.

 

Our biobehavioral services of biofeedback, neurofeedback, and counseling services can act as a complement to physical therapy and/or be used as stand-alone services. When used in conjunction with physical therapy, we are able to help you gain a better understanding of your body, hone in on problematic tendencies, and fine tune restorative behaviors. As a stand-alone treatment, we are able to help patients gain a keener insight into the processes happening within their minds and to use this most powerful tool to restore their health in body and mind.

 

Our philosophy has allowed us to help patients that have suffered greatly from a variety of conditions. Some of our patients has seen many other specialists before they finally find relief at CORE Services, Inc.
