Physical Therapy for Leg Pain or Leg Injury

At Iron PT, we will not use a “cookie cutter” treatment for your leg injury. Your highly trained Doctor of Physical Therapy will conduct a thorough one-on-one evaluation to understand your personal goals and uncover the cause and severity of your leg pain.

Then, they will create a customized treatment plan incorporating the very latest hands on techniques and exercises to build strength and give you full, pain-free range of motion.

Patient Success Story

“While training for my triathlon, I developed shin splints related to the brace I was wearing to support my ankle. I couldn't run without significant pain in my shins and was devastated thinking that I wouldn’t be able to reach my goal.

I had been to physical therapy before with little confidence in the process and the practitioners. However, Dr. Mayes, who is a runner and an athlete, is a different kind of physical therapist who provides specific, personal, and targeted attention. I did not know PTs like him even existed!”

- Naomi, Triathlete
