Our Clinic
The DeSales Community Wellness and Physical Therapy Clinic is a student-run, no-cost pro bono clinic that provides a full range of screening, evaluation and therapy services to adults, adolescents, and children with muscle, bone, joint, balance or neurological dysfunctions. These services include initial evaluation and individual treatment sessions. We aim to serve individuals with limited access to physical therapy care.
Our Team
DeSales Doctor of Physical Therapy students provide all evaluation and therapy services under the direct supervision of faculty members and alumni who are licensed physical therapists by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We ensure the needs of the clients are aligned with the learning focus of the student clinicians to practice physical therapy consistent with the principles of Christian humanism and the Salesian values of gentleness and humility.
