SERVICES
Georgia Sports Physical Therapy (GSPT) is dedicated to providing exceptional, one on one care when assessing and treating your specific injury. Our primary goal is to accurately identify the problem and determine a detailed treatment plan to restore proper function. Emphasis is also placed on preventative measures to maintain gains made while under the direction of GSPT.
