My doctor sent me to CORA. The experience is great service, and the therapists treating my pain are very professional and do the best job. CORA is recommended.

I first started seeing CORA post-op therapy for total knee replacement. The whole team at Athens was awesome. The staff is very friendly and very well informed of what they were doing to help me.
Mike J.
The rehab staff are very knowledgeable and professional. They did great getting me back to walking after total knee replacement (I had walked with a cane for close to 20 years). You can trust CORA Athens staff for any of your rehab and therapy needs.
