If you need therapy following an injury or illness, you can be confident that your doctor’s referral to Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab will put you on the fastest, most convenient road to recovery.
We pair the latest technology and equipment with one-on-one personal attention, delivered by our excellent physical therapy team, working with your physician and communicating with their office on a regular basis.
After your physical therapist reviews your history, injury and possible surgery report, a treatment plan is established for each visit. We also include a program to follow after each physical therapy session, because the most effective therapy includes knowing what to do when you get home. Working with physicians to formulate specific strategies, we also devise programs of stretching and strengthening that give lasting benefits long after therapy has ended.
Whether you’re a gardener or a golfer, whether you’ve had surgery or a stroke, Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab is your convenient, experienced resource.

As part of our community-owned hospital system, Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab accepts all insurances including Medicaid. Financial aid also is available to those qualifying.
Acute Care Therapy – Hospitalized patients receive specialized physical therapy by our most experienced therapists depending on each patient’s specific situation.
Anodyne Therapy – Research has shown that Anodyne therapy, combined with an exercise program of stretching and strengthening, can help improve blood flow to the extremities to improve feeling and sensation in the legs and feet. This also includes improved flow to the nerves, which improves supply to the muscles. Examples of patients who can benefit from Anodyne therapy include someone with peripheral neuropathy, or patients with balance issues.
Aquatics/Water Therapy – Some patients are not ready to begin a full exercise program on land due to excess pain, or weakness. Beginning exercise therapy in water not only is easier, but the water also decreases the pressure on joints. This can reduce pain and allow the patient to progress faster with fewer problems.
Biodex Balance Therapy – As we age, balance can worsen and increase the tendency to stumble and fall. Biodex is a way not only to test balance, but also allows the patient to work on the balance problems and reduce the likelihood of falling. Stroke patients can use the Biodex system to improve their walking. Athletes have also begun to use the Biodex system to improve balance in preparation for returning to sports after injuries and surgeries.
Blood Flow Resistance Training – Blood flow resistance training is the use of a specialized cuff which will decrease blood flow to the arm or leg during low impact exercises to promote bone and tissue healing, prevent muscle wasting and improve endurance in injured athletes.
Dry Needling – Dry needling is the use of monofilament needles to decrease muscle tightness, increase blood flow and reduce pain.
Occupational Therapy – Occupational therapists apply their knowledge, skills and expertise to enable people who have been injured, ill, disabled or have experienced psychological dysfunction to engage in activities of daily living. While the discipline is called Occupational Therapy, these services are designed to help people in both work and home environments. They help patients develop, improve, sustain and/or restore independence so they may work and carry out normal activities of life.
Pain Management – This aspect of therapy addresses lower back pain, neck and post-operative situations.
Scott Saylor (pictured above) is Director of Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab and leads a team of 25 professionals. “Almost without exception, there’s never been a need that hasn’t been met,” Saylor said. “Marshall Medical has met the needs of residents for six decades. We have a good reputation in the county and that’s because of good care.”
Parkinson’s – Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab is part of the Parkinson’s program started by Huntsville Hospital.
Pediatric Therapy – Most people think of elderly patients when they envision therapy, but Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab also treats children from one month to one year. An example of this need would be newborns who require therapy for Torticollis, a condition where the muscles of the neck cause the head to tilt down due to the baby’s position in the womb or from a difficult childbirth.
Spine-Related Therapy – The physical therapists at Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab have extensive experience in the treatment of spinal dysfunctions, including lower back pain, neck pain, and injuries. State-of-the-art equipment (such as spinal decompression) is available at Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab. And our therapists offer expertise in manual techniques, including development of exercise programs to enhance spinal strength and stability.
Sports Medicine – Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab is committed to excellence in healthcare for athletes of all ages, providing prevention, treatment and education programs for all levels of experience and ability. We provide comprehensive, high-quality sports medicine services to meet the unique needs of both recreational and competitive athletes and coaches. We also provide a special focus on student athletes. Our Athletic Trainers attend both practices and games of local high schools and our community college. If an injury should occur, they are on-site to assist the athlete immediately. In referring them directly to their physician, they keep coaches and parents informed in a coordinated effort to safely return the athlete to competition as soon as possible.
Water buoyancy helps reduce pressure on joints, making exercise in water easier and less painful for some patients who can’t tolerate typical land therapy. Marshall Therapy & Sports Rehab offers the only local resources for aquatics therapy, with an Olympic-size pool at each location. We also have smaller, warm water aquatic therapy pools for individual patient treatments.
Aquatic Therapy offers a number of benefits:
