Enhancing Wellness through Comprehensive Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a vital component of overall wellness, aiding in recovery, rehabilitation, and preventing future injuries. At Yale Health, we provide our members with exclusive access to top-notch physical therapy services. This service is available exclusively for Yale Health members and students with Yale Health Hospitalization & Specialty Care coverage.

At Yale Health Physical Therapy, we aim to support your journey to optimal health through personalized and comprehensive physical therapy services. We are here to help you achieve your wellness goals with care and dedication.

Yale Health Center partners with Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Centers (PTSMC) with offices throughout Connecticut. PTSMC provides all of our physical therapy services. Partnering with PTSMC provides our patients with high-quality physical therapy with more timely access and the convenience of multiple sites for appointments.
