Physical Therapy & Performance Center

Physical Therapy

Whether you're an athlete who excels at your sport, a nine-to-fiver who gives life your full attention, a busy mom who needs sustainable energy, or a post-surgical patient ready to get back to your life, we make it our priority to help you perform at your personal best.

That's why we created the Physical Therapy & Performance Center. No matter what condition or injury you're facing, you'll be assured of the best, individualized care.

The Physcial Therapy & Performance Center offers both a Gahanna/Reynoldsburg and a Westerville location for your convenience - both located within the offices of The Cardinal Orthoapedic Institute. These comprehensive facilities are both complete with state-of-the-art exercise equipment, private treatment rooms, locker and shower facilities, and functional, cardio and strength-training areas. Our Gahanna/Reynoldsburg site also features a heated therapy pool.

The centers also offer regular Arthritis Foundation Aquatic classes; sports-specific training; and a host of community education programs on topics such as back pain, ACL injury prevention and weight management.
