Physiotherapy in Memphis

Defined as, "the treatment or management of physical disabilities, malfunction or pain by exercise, massage, hydrotherapy, etc., without the use of medicines, surgery or radiation,” physiotherapy has been creating success stories since 460 BC.

A whole-body approach to physical health which uses consistent practice rather than bursts of treatment when necessary, physiotherapy keeps its practitioners fit for life with low-risk, cost-effective techniques.

Throughout the years, physical therapy has evolved to treat not only multiple types of injuries, but also to prevent the debilitation which occurs through many disease processes.

At TAG Physical Therapy, PLLC we strive to keep our Memphis clients in tip-top shape so they can suffer as little pain as possible in day-to-day life. Your schedule is tough enough without throwing back pain into the mix!

Our Key Team Member—You!

With a health care team branching out to physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists and the physiotherapists themselves— the patient is not to be forgotten.

Modern physical therapy formed towards the end of the 19th century, and has always been a field that grows with the needs of its patients.

"Basic" physiotherapy can be summed up as encompassing four systems: neuro-musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neurological and respiratory. Throughout the years however, the way in which therapists tend to these bodily systems has grown with each advance patients and society have made.

From Hippocrates introducing the idea of manual manipulation (massage) for pain relief, to the outcry for therapy during World War I and in the 1920s during an outbreak of polio, physiotherapists strive to provide the best care possible for our most important team member—you!

How Do I Sign Up?

While it used to be necessary for a new client to receive a referral from a doctor first, that is not always the case. If you are looking for a therapist, some clients may prefer to have their family doctor suggest a clinic, but you are welcome to reach out yourself.

Here at TAG Physical Therapy, PLLC, we're always open to accepting new clients from anywhere in beautiful Memphis, with our without referral.
