Their training allows them to work across a variety of settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, home health, schools, workplace, sport teams, athletic facilities, research, wellness, fitness center, educational settings, and private practices like Chaux Physical Therapy.

At Chaux Physical Therapy, your care is never rushed and always with me, Dr. Alexandra Chaux.

If your pain returns after physical therapy, it may be part of the body-mind reprogramming process.
The body often adapts to pain by tightening and guarding, which can restrict natural movement. As these patterns begin to shift—especially when fascia and deeper tissues release—it’s common to experience temporary discomfort. This can be a sign that the body is unwinding old tension and moving toward more ease.

Mild soreness typically resolves within 48–72 hours.* If symptoms persist or worsen, we can schedule a follow-up session to reassess and support your progress.
