Karen Lemmon, PT

"I decided to become a physical therapist when I was in high school. I spent years achieving this goal and continue to experience the reward of helping people."

WHEN YOU'RE HURTING, YOU WANT IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

In our clinic, the patient comes first. We provide quality care for everyone using a team approach, whenever necessary. To enhance treatment skills, I have participated in many continuing education seminars, as well as a year long orthopedic residency.

MY EDUCATION AND SPECIALIZED TRAINING HAVE GIVEN ME THE SKILLS TO OFFER YOU A HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE.

Physical therapists are health care professionals who have learned how to assess joint motion, muscle strength and endurance, the function of the heart and lungs, and the performance of all areas of the body. With the education and training I have received, as well as the course work and advanced training that I will continue to take, I have the skills to give you fast and effective treatment of your pain.
