Physical Therapy
As It Should Be

A leading Lowcountry physical therapy center, we provide general rehabilitation services and specialize in oncology physical therapy and lymphedema treatment – with a personal touch. 

Are You Ready To Live Your Best Life?

If you’ve developed problems from injury, disease, or natural aging, H.O.P.E. is here to help you to Thrive Beyond Surviving.

Traditional medicine does a good job of maximizing your medical health, but often ignores your physical health and well-being. That’s where H.O.P.E. comes in.

There are proven treatments to help you return to your daily routine and favorite activities with increased strength, flexibility, balance, and stamina. You can learn to manage and eliminate pain.

And if your life has been touched by cancer–whether it’s been 15 days or 15 years since your last treatment–we can help.

The good news is, wherever you’re starting from today, you can achieve and permanently maintain a surprising and satisfying “new daily normal.”

We at H.O.P.E. understand.

Our staff are physical therapy, oncology therapy, and lymphedema rehabilitation experts with the specialized training and certifications to prove it. Most importantly, we care about you.
