Our Physical Therapy Protocol
In January 2022, we added physical therapy to our practice. The focus of PT will be primarily on active care (the patient does the work). This differs from the chiropractic component of achieving “wellness” where the care is more passive (done by the doctor). While our therapists do incorporate some passive care (manual therapies to treat the myofascial component), our common goal of care at Mainland Wellness is achieving a positive and lasting benefit as we move our patients toward a “wellness” outcome.
In our office, PT is done in a “boutique setting” in which our therapists treat 1-3 patients at any given time. This is unlike a traditional physical therapy office where the space is large and there is typically multiple therapists seeing as many as 5-6 patients at any given time. Using an integrative model of chiropractic and physical therapy gives us the opportunity to be in constant contact between the DC and the DPT.
Our physical therapists treat a broad demographic, from sports injuries and weekend warrior injuries (which are common in our office), to those stubborn recurring back or neck issues, and even our senior population (with a different set of physical challenges).
Some of the most common areas of concern that we actively treat include the lower back, neck, shoulders and hips, and challenges with balance and general movement in our aging population.
Improve Strength with Therapeutic Exercise & Physical Therapy
Therapeutic Exercise Rehabilitation can help to alleviate pain by improving your muscle strength and flexibility. Weak muscles can often lead to a misshapen skeletal structure and dramatically increase the risk of injury or the worsening your condition.

Patients Experience Restored Function
” I cannot thank Dr. Clark enough for the way she has improved my leg strength and my balance in such a short period of time. Dr. Brittany genuinely cares about her patients well-being. She is knowledgeable, kind, and caring. She actually makes therapy an enjoyable experience.” – Barbara A.
” I first started going to physical therapy in late November. Being put on a treatment plan and working closely with one of the best physical therapists and person I have met really motivated me for success. Brittany Clark works and makes sure she engages with all of her clients along with giving in depth instructions as well. While going to physical therapy about twice a week, my jaw pain that I have been struggling with for years has finally started to feel better! Everyone a part of Mainland Wellness is extremely comforting and after every visit new exercises and possible resources are provided. Physical therapy at Mainland Wellness has truly changed my life and gave me a sense of pain relief while speaking!” – Kaylee E.
” Dr. Brittany and the Mainland Wellness staff were very welcoming, caring and supportive from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. Dr. Brittany’s attention to the concerns I presented, as well as her expertise in guiding my physical therapy routines each day, quickly empowered my steady recovery. She was always attentive, instructive, helpful and ready to listen and offer constructive advice that led to my healing. I highly recommend Dr. Brittany to you.” – Ron W.
