ptspin by Joel Scherr Physical Therapist The opening of the new facility in Livingston, Higgs Physical Therapy, brings a great deal of excitement to the staff of Ponchatoula Therapy along with a lot of responsibility. A new employee of Ponchatoula Therapy, Mallory Kraft, will join Joel Scherr to help with the Ponchatoula location while Scott and Carrie Higgs run the Livingston location. The toughest part about opening the new business is the advertisement and gaining a support system in a new area. The Livingston location will be open 8 a.m.-5p.m., while the Ponchatoula location will be open from 8 a.m.-6p.m.. A key new feature Scott Higgs is incorporating to the new location is the Titleist Performance Institute, which is a teaching of golf mechanics and rehab. The Livingston location opened on Oct. 30 and currently is accepting same day appointments. Both locations look to help with therapy from teenagers to elderly and all in between. Currently, the Ponchatoula location is offering a wellness program post therapy which is a program that patients can get on to continuously work with the therapists to strengthen their bodies after therapy.
