Physical therapy in Pojoaque
Steady on your feet, at the clinic or at home
Physical therapy for older adults: balance, strength and walking, with visits in our clinic or in your own living room. We treat in English and Spanish, and your family is always welcome.
Two places, one plan
The clinic and your home, side by side
The same therapists write the same plan of care in both places. You choose where each visit happens, and you can change your mind.

What we work on
Care for balance, strength and getting around
Four kinds of visits, each with its own page. Your therapist plans yours with you.
Strength and walking
Get stronger in the legs and hips, and walk farther with or without a cane.
Strength and walking
After a joint replacement
Rebuild strength and ease of movement after a new hip or knee.

For the family
Bring your family into the plan
Many of our patients come with a daughter, a grandson or a neighbor who helps at home. We make room for them. They can sit in, ask questions and learn how to help, in the language your family speaks at home.
Sit in on a visit and ask your questions
Learn how to help with steps, chairs and the car
Get your exercises on paper, in English or Spanish
Talk with the therapist by phone or WhatsApp

Questions we hear most
Do I need a referral?
In New Mexico you can start without a referral. Your plan may still ask for one, and Medicare asks your doctor to sign your plan of care. We tell you what applies before your first visit.
Can my family come with me?
Yes. Family members are welcome at the clinic and at home. Your therapist can show them how to help.
Can I have my visit in Spanish?
Yes. Elodia, Genaro and Maritza treat in Spanish. Tell us your language when you call and we match you.
What happens at a home visit?
Your therapist comes with a bag of equipment, looks at how you move through your home and practices the steps you use every day. Your family can join in.
Ask us, or ask for a first visit
Tell us how to reach you and when. A person from the front desk answers on the next working day, in English or Spanish.
