About
Oakbend Physical Therapy-Fairfield was founded with the vision of doing physical therapy the right way. Too often physical therapy becomes about how many patients can be seen in a day, not about providing the best care. Many times, therapists are required to see multiple patients at one time and are not able to spend the time required with each patient. Hands on treatment is limited and rushed with techs often overseeing the exercises. What should be skilled care often becomes an expensive gym membership. At Oakbend Physical Therapy-Fairfield, all patients will receive one on one care for advanced manual therapy and exercise prescription for the entire session. Come experience physical therapy performed the right way.
