Joseph Shine started Performance Physical Therapy in LaPlace in 2000 with the goal of offering quality physical therapy in a very professional manner in a friendly setting. He felt there was a great need for consistent physical therapy care focused on a patient’s physical disorder as well as addressing return to work issues and returning to family activities which are often overlooked. Joe’s primary goal is to provide the best possible comprehensive patient care. He has worked extensively to employ physical therapists with advanced training and ensures they receive the best possible continuing education from various manual physical therapy schools with a scientific basis. The Performance facilities are equipped with the latest and most effective equipment to treat orthopaedic conditions.
