Escatawpa sits just north of Pascagoula off Highway 63, which puts GT Physical Therapy about ten minutes from most of the community. We also treat patients from Kreole, Hurley, Wade and across northern Jackson County.
What makes this worth the drive rather than defaulting to the nearest chain: you see Dr. Austin Baskin, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, for your entire visit, every visit. Not an evaluation with the doctor and then months of being handed to an aide while he treats three other rooms. That is the standard model at high-volume clinics, and it is the single biggest difference you will notice.
It also means the person adjusting your program is the person who watched you do it last week. For anything that requires progressive loading — tendon problems, post-operative rehab, back pain, balance training — that continuity is most of what determines whether you actually get better.
Ingalls is a short commute from Escatawpa, and the injury patterns that come with that work are familiar territory here: shoulders worn down from overhead work, low backs from lifting and confined-space positions, knees and feet from ten-hour days on steel and concrete, and necks from welding positions. If your injury happened at work, we handle workers' compensation and communicate directly with your adjuster and employer — see our workers' comp page.
