Therapies & Treatments

Professional Physical and Occupational Therapy

At Diversified Physical Therapy Specialists, we believe every patient’s path to recovery is unique—and their treatment should be too. Since 1994, our independently owned clinics in Frankenmuth and Reese have provided trusted, one-on-one therapy designed to restore movement, reduce pain, and promote lasting wellness. Each session is guided by experienced therapists who take the time to understand your goals, evaluate the root cause of your symptoms, and create a plan tailored specifically to your body and lifestyle.

Our approach goes beyond treating isolated pain points—we focus on how your entire body functions and heals as a system. Through advanced techniques in physical and occupational therapy, we help you regain strength, improve mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or working to prevent future injuries, our team is here to support you every step of the way with compassionate care and proven results.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Our physical therapists evaluate and treat pain, injury, and movement limitations caused by surgery, aging, or illness. Each one-on-one session focuses on improving mobility, strength, and function—helping you return to daily activities with confidence and comfort.
