Our Live New Process

Assess

We complete a comprehensive evaluation to assess your concerns, limitations, movement patterns, and physical performance.  We will explain what is going on with your body and develop an action plan to help you achieve your goals.

Address

We address pressing concerns, initiating treatment to reduce pain, and improve function and performance. We implement our action plan and refine it as you experience success.


Achieve

We don’t stop with symptom resolution. We provide advanced treatments and programming to achieve long-term success. Patients continue services to improve lifelong wellness, sports performance, and pursue goals that become newly attainable.


Our Treatment Approach:

Personalized, Complete, Innovative

Personalized: One-on-one care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. No double booking or overlapping appointments with your provider.

Complete: Hour-long evaluation and treatment sessions that are not limited or dictated by insurance or clinic policy. We address any and all your concerns.

Innovative: Guided by continual education in current research and decades of experience, we treat each individual with the attention and respect they deserve. We look at the big picture of wellness and health, and help you investigate the small details that we can alter for a better outcome.

Work With Us

Our approach to physical therapy is different. We are passionate about what we do: helping people. Having worked within the traditional medical system, we have experienced first-hand the limitations it places on providing good, thorough, compassionate care. During our time with you, there are no other distractions. We will not be juggling other patients or responsibilities. There is no “cap” on our available number of treatment sessions. We take the time to listen and work through all your concerns, including preventative, maintenance, or performance goals that are traditionally denied by insurance. Most physical limitations can be improved or prevented with the proper tools and intervention. Let us share our tools to help you unlock your potential to a healthier way of living.

From Our Clients

  • "I was in a horrible car accident 3 1/2 years ago. I’ve been in pain ever since then. Dr. Silva has been incredible. I’m moving again for the first time in years and my pain is so much less. Live new wellness has helped me so much and I’m so grateful! I highly recommend this company to anybody looking for pain, relief or strengthening, etc. Thank you again Dr. Silva!"

    —Abigail B.

  • "I started working with Dr. Silva when I was struggling with shin pain while running, and he was able to help me recover while still running. Since then, I've been working with him on running performance, and he's coached me through my first ultramarathon and my first 5k PR in almost two years. I highly recommend his services to any runner, as he emphasizes not only training for performance but training to avoid injury."

    —Samantha H.

  • "As a fitness enthusiast, Dr. Silva is the one I go to. My job (military) is extremely physical in nature. I have a full medical system at my disposal but if I have any questions he is the person I go to. My training typically consists of anywhere from 30-100 miles per week to include rucking and lifting 2-4 times a week. He is the only PT I have been to that was not shocked by the amount of training volume I was doing. He understood the strain my body was going through and has the experience to understand what could be causing any issues you might be having. He has the knowledge, I could spend hours talking with him about training and best practices. I would suggest him to anyone at any level, whether that be just starting running or trying to compete. Truly a great person to work with."

    —Ronan D.
