“I want to thank and commend you for your efforts with helping me with my leg.  I truly appreciate your patience, thoroughness and most importantly I appreciate the time you took to carefully listen to my complaints to diagnose my problem.  Thanks to your direction and guidance, I was able to run the race on Sunday without feeling pain in my leg.  I will definitely recommend you and the UD Physical Therapy Clinic to my family, friends and co-workers.”

Mission Statement

In 1984 the Physical Therapy Clinic at the University of Delaware was opened to provide out-patient physical therapy services to University faculty, staff and students. The clinic evolved into a full-service professional operation in 1994 to provide educational and research experiences for physical therapy faculty and students. Our clinic has developed into the premier outpatient physical therapy clinic open to the public in the Delaware Valley.

  • Provide service to patients from the University community and community at large by experienced, highly competent practitioners.
  • Provide clinical education experiences for University of Delaware physical therapy students, including opportunities for clinical practice, clinical research, and specialized practical experiences.
  • Promote and expand clinical research opportunities for faculty and students.

“When we can’t figure out what is wrong with you, we send you to the University of Delaware’s Physical Therapy Department. They will figure out what is causing the problem and they will then fix you.’ That was said to me about 15 years ago by two of the most prominent orthopedic doctors in Delaware. And they were right. Since that time I have gone to that wonderful UDPT department to ‘get fixed’ probably half a dozen times. From the small concerns like leg pain to keep me going as a non-competitive daily runner to diagnosing me with osteoarthritis in both hips which resulted in my having both of them replaced. That solved my back pain issues which doctors had also been unable to ‘fix’. And their secret is — people. Wonderful people. I always know that I am going to have a ‘team’ of excellent therapists consulting and working on me. The greatest testimonial that I give to UDPT is the large number of my family, friends, and acquaintances that I have sent to them who are successfully treated.”
