Physical Therapy in Thomsen Farm, TN

Who We Help at the Union University Clinic

Our patient base at the Union University location reflects the wider north Jackson community: working adults managing chronic conditions alongside busy schedules, older residents navigating the physical challenges that come with aging, and post-surgical patients who need consistent, high-quality rehabilitation care close to home.

Many of the patients we see are dealing with pain that has been present for longer than it should have been — back pain and sciatica that has been managed with medication rather than treated at the source, arthritic joints that have slowly restricted the activities a person loves, or hip and knee pain that has changed how someone walks, stands, and moves through their day. Physical therapy done right can reverse a lot of that — and the sooner care begins, the better the outcome.

We also see a significant number of older adults who come to us specifically for our geriatric physical therapy program. GeriHab PT was founded on the premise that older patients deserve care designed specifically for them — not a diluted version of what a younger patient receives. At this location, as at all of our clinics, that commitment to the older adult population shows up in every session. Our fall prevention program has helped many Jackson-area seniors dramatically reduce their fall risk, and our balance therapy program has restored confidence and independence to patients who feared that unsteadiness was just something they had to accept.

Post-surgical patients — particularly those recovering from total hip or knee replacements — make up another important part of our caseload here. Surgical outcomes are only as good as the rehabilitation that follows, and our therapists know how to guide patients through every phase of recovery, from the first few cautious days of movement to full restoration of strength and function. We also treat shoulder pain, neck pain, chronic pain, balance and gait disorders, joint pain, elbow, wrist, and hand conditions, incontinence through pelvic floor rehabilitation, and neurological conditions including stroke recovery and Parkinson’s disease. The full list of what we treat is available on our conditions page.

Your Care, Fully Covered

Our Union University location delivers every service in the GeriHab PT catalog — no compromises because of the location. Your treatment plan is built from a combination of tools, applied in the order and proportion that makes sense for your specific condition.

The foundation is always a thorough evaluation. Before any treatment begins, your therapist sits with you, listens to the full history of what you are experiencing, and conducts a hands-on physical assessment. That evaluation drives everything that comes after. From there, your sessions draw on whichever combination of approaches will produce the best result for you — manual therapy techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue work to reduce pain and restore movement directly, therapeutic exercise to rebuild the strength and stability that supports recovery, and patient education that ensures you understand your condition and how to protect yourself going forward.

For patients with neurological conditions, our neurological rehabilitation program is available here in full — structured, evidence-based care for stroke survivors, those living with Parkinson’s disease or MS, and others whose movement and function have been affected by neurological events. And for patients who have completed their formal rehab and want to keep building, our personal training program offers a therapist-guided path forward — because finishing physical therapy should be the beginning of a stronger chapter, not the end of the process.

Our free senior home exercise program is also available to all patients — a practical resource for staying active, strong, and mobile between sessions or after discharge.

The Same Standard, Whichever Jackson Clinic You Choose

One of the most common questions we get from new Jackson patients is simple: which clinic should I go to? Our Union University location and our Highland Avenue clinic in Jackson operate under exactly the same clinical standards, use the same approach to care, and deliver the same outcomes. The decision really comes down to geography — whichever is more convenient for your home, your workplace, or your schedule is the right choice.

If you are ever closer to the other side of Jackson on a particular week, both clinics share the same patient records and treatment philosophy, so continuity of care is never a concern. What matters most is that you get consistent, high-quality rehabilitation — and that is guaranteed at both locations.

You can read about what makes GeriHab PT different from other clinics through the voices of patients who have experienced it on our testimonials page. You can also get to know our clinical team on the staff page, explore common questions on our FAQ page, and browse health and recovery topics on our patient blog — all resources designed to make your experience with us as informed and straightforward as possible.

When you are ready to book, complete your patient intake forms online ahead of time so your first appointment stays focused entirely on your evaluation and the beginning of your care.
