I have stage four metastatic breast cancer. My oncologist recommended physical therapy because one of the medications I take has caused muscle and joint pain. Anne Wellington Goldsmith has treated me in the past and was my choice. Anne has been very helpful and has given me suggestions, which have eased the pain. I have had several therapist over the years and this one is the best. My life has improved much with being able to sleep better.

Initial Evaluation
During an initial evaluation, therapists gather important information about the patient’s specific disease or disorder, general health and their home and work environment. Based on the results of the evaluation, physician’s recommendations and available medical records our licensed physical therapists develop a comprehensive plan that treats the whole person and supports other adjunct treatments that might be underway.
ARA is very organized, with my sessions beginning at the time scheduled. If I had to change my time of a session, they worked with my schedule. The care received greatly increased by mobility! I would strongly recommend ARA to family and friends.

What sets your physical therapy apart from others is you offer more explanation of “why” you are doing this therapy. I would definitely recommend ARA to friends or family, as you are an excellent professional service with a friendly touch.

Hands-on Techniques and Modalities
Physical therapists use a variety of techniques and interventions, also referred to as modalities, to treat musculoskeletal problems and to resolve pain. Many diseases and disorders, especially those that cause pain, benefit greatly from therapeutic exercise programs and the use of advanced, hands-on techniques. All ARTS therapists are highly skilled in these interventions, which they use in combination with other basic modalities as described below.
