About Us

At David Gilboe & Associates, and Physical Therapy Professionals, we specialize in treating muscular and skeletal problems that arise from an accident, injury, surgery or degenerative condition. Doctors typically refer patients who have injured muscles, tendons or ligaments; fractures bones; or have had joint replacement surgery.

Our job is to decrease or eliminate your pain, increase your mobility and strength, and improve your function. We'll evaluate your condition, develop a custom treatment plan based on your doctor's recommendations, address your needs, and monitor your progress.

An essential part of your rehabilitation is to get you moving while your body heals. Treatment protocols are based on current research and therapy techniques that reflect the latest medical and surgical procedures.

 

Graduates of Wayne State University's Physical Therapy program, David Gilboe and Diann Inch worked together at Holy Cross Hospital in Detroit before venturing off on their own. In 1979, David founded David Gilboe & Associates, in St. Clair Shores.

Diann later joined David at the clinic. And after treating many patients from northern Macomb county, they opened Physical Therapy Professionals in Chesterfield, in 1988. Besides running the clinics, David and Diann also work with patients daily. Our therapists and clinics receive a tremendous amount of positive feedback from patient surveys and physicians regarding our quality of care. Patients often choose to return to us if they suffer another injury.

It is not enough to improve your condition: We want you to learn how to live without us. Our goal is to teach you how to prevent an injury from reoccurring. Or, in the case of a degenerative condition, to maximize your function.

Flexible early morning and evening readily accommodate patient work schedules, and most types of insurance coverage are accepted. Patients are seen quickly, and office access is easy, with parking right outside the door.

The clinics also get involved with the community and local schools. We conduct scoliosis screening, strength testing, posture exams, and balance testing. We provide teachers, students, and industry with information on computer workstation ergonomics, backpack use, spinal problems and injury prevention.
