Movement screen
Forty-five minutes of measuring: range, strength, gait, and the joints above and below the one that hurts.
Stillwater Circle · Bonaire, GA
Start with a movement screen, not a guess.
Core Physical Therapy is a small outpatient clinic in Bonaire. Keith Brown, PT tests how the joint moves before anything is treated, writes the plan down, then adjusts it week by week until you are back to the thing you stopped doing.
Evaluations generally open within a week, and you keep the same therapist from screen to discharge.

How care runs here
Rehab that respects how tissue actually heals
Nothing here is guesswork or a machine circuit. Four stages, and you always know which one you are in.
2
Written plan
You leave the first visit with the findings, the number of weeks we expect, and the two exercises that matter most.
3
Loaded progression
Manual work to unlock the range, then real load to keep it. Every set is logged so progress is not a feeling.
4
Handover home
Discharge is a maintenance program you can run in a garage or a gym, plus a standing invitation to check back in.
Who treats you
The people who will actually be in the room
Three people run this clinic, which is why nobody hands you off mid-plan.
Keith Brown, PT
Owner & treating therapistSees every new evaluation himself, keeps the caseload deliberately small, and does the manual work rather than delegating it.
Licensed staff therapist

The clinic
Bonaire neighbours, not a chart number
Core Physical Therapy sits on Stillwater Circle, ten minutes from Robins Air Force Base and a short drive from Warner Robins and Perry. Most of the people on the schedule were referred by someone who lives on the same street.
That shapes how the place runs: two treatment rooms instead of a floor full of tables, appointments long enough to reassess, and a therapist who remembers what your shoulder did last Tuesday without reading it off a screen.
- Post-operative protocols coordinated directly with your surgeon's office.
- Cash-pay pricing published before you book, and most major plans filed for you.
- Working adults, retirees and high-school athletes on the same schedule.
What we treat
Where the hands-on hour goes
Four caseloads make up most of the week. If yours is not on the list, call and we will tell you honestly whether physical therapy is the right first stop.
Post-operative and orthopedic rehab
Knees, shoulders, hips and ankles after surgery or injury — from the first careful range-of-motion week to the day you can load the joint without thinking about it.
- Total knee and hip replacement protocols
- Rotator cuff and shoulder instability repair
- ACL and meniscus return-to-sport testing
- Ankle, wrist and post-fracture stiffness
Back, neck and sciatic pain
Manual therapy plus a loading program for discs and joints that have been guarded for months.
Sports and overuse strains
Runners, lifters and Houston County high-school athletes — graded return, not blanket rest.
Balance, gait and strength after 60
Fall-risk screening and a strength plan built for stairs, groceries and grandchildren.
Straight talk
Two ways to spend a physical therapy hour
Both are billed the same way. Only one of them moves the needle on a stubborn joint.
The high-volume hour
- –Three or four patients rotating between one therapist and an aide.
- –Same printed exercise sheet regardless of what the screen showed.
- –Reassessment only when the visit authorisation runs out.
- –A different face at every appointment, and the plan restarts with each one.
An hour on Stillwater Circle
- ✓One therapist, one patient, hands on the joint that hurts.
- ✓Exercises chosen from your measurements and rewritten when they change.
- ✓Re-testing every third visit, with the numbers shown to you.
- ✓Discharge when the joint holds up, plus a maintenance program to keep it.
