About COAST Rehab
We are committed to providing convenient high quality, one-on-one physical therapy care in a friendly and caring atmosphere.
Our philosophy is to integrate education and exercise in the treatment of the "whole" person. We expect patients to actively participate in their rehabilitation. Our goal is for patients to understand the mechanism of injury, how to facilitate an optimal and speedy recovery, and how to prevent the recurrence of injury.
