Health Services
Mission Statement
Indiana Physical Therapy Woman is dedicated to enhancing
the quality of life of women of all ages through comprehensive,
compassionate, and individualized physical therapy and
wellness services by highly trained female therapists
in a setting designed for women.
Just as our name implies, Indiana Physical Therapy Woman
is a specialty physical therapy clinic that exclusively
treats women. The difference is apparent right at the
door - we offer a warm, relaxing atmosphere with a decidedly
feminine look. To help patients feel more at ease, all
of our therapists are also women - women who are experienced

of the unique needs of women. This understanding is what
makes Indiana Physical Therapy Woman a distinctive, effective
