Advancing Clinical Excellence
Physical Therapy at St. Luke’s offers three specialized residencies—Orthopedic, Neurologic, and Pediatric. We provide advanced training to enhance clinical expertise, improve patient outcomes, and support career growth. Our structured mentorship and targeted education prepare therapists to excel in their fields.
For those seeking further specialization, our fellowships in Advanced Spine and Upper Extremity Rehabilitation develop leaders in managing complex musculoskeletal conditions. The Spine Fellowship focuses on innovative treatments for spine-related pain, while the Upper Extremity Fellowship enhances expertise in diagnosing and treating upper extremity conditions.
