Believe • Commit • Achieve

When it comes to physical therapy , experience matters . And if you ’ re serious about getting the most out of your rehabilitation and back on the road to recovery , then Crossroads Physical Therapy is where you want to be . Owned and operated by licensed physical therapist Kevin Perris , who has been practicing for more than 17 years , Crossroads Physical Therapy is the culmination of his experience and philosophy in the field . They had their Grand Opening in February 2018 .

“ I used to have a clinic in West Virginia , but wanted to be closer to home ,” Perris said . “ I ’ ve lived in Canonsburg for the last nine years with my wife and three daughters , and helping those in my community is important to me .”
Perris ’ clinic is a 2,100-square-foot facility with a 1,000-square-foot gym for patients and caters to patients of every age group .
“ We are an outpatient sports rehabilitation clinic and more ,” Perris said . “ My motto is ‘ Believe . Commit . Achieve .,’ and I instill that into all of my patients . I see all types of patients . From the weekend warrior who injured their knee squatting in the gym to the crossfire guru who strained their back . I see a lot of post surgical patients as well . From a post-op knee scope for a torn meniscus to a repaired bicep or tricep .” But pain doesn ’ t discriminate and Crossroads Physical Therapy is also equipped and happy to help Medicare patients as well . They specialize in ASTYM , McKenzie Method for necks and backs as well as performing a Selective Functional Movement Assessment ( SFMA ). This assessment determines ones limitations and what exactly is causing their pain .
“ The three biggest things people don ’ t know about physical therapy is that : 1 . You don ’ t need a physician referral to come to therapy , 2 . It is not just for post-operative care , 3 . It is not just for people after an
injury ,” Perris said . “ If you ’ re having pain or weakness or something just isn ’ t working correctly , you can come to a physical therapist and they can assess your problem and offer a solution . A lot of people don ’ t know these three things , and they suffer needlessly because of it .”
Crossroads Physical Therapy accepts most major insurance , so no matter what your coverage , you can get the help you need . And , if you ’ re just curious about various topics , Perris also holds free workshops in his clinic where people can learn about common ailments that physical therapy can help , like plantar fasciitis , lower back pain , neck pain , shoulder pain , etc . Perris , who ’ s undergone numerous surgeries himself , including five knee surgeries , knows how to rehabilitate the body and said that exercise is key .
“ I ’ ve always exercised patients because seventy-five percent of physical therapy is corrective exercise and the other 25 percent is hands on treatment ,” he said . “ I got into physical therapy because I wanted to help people achieve THEIR goals and not what someone told them they couldn ’ t achieve . It is all about what the patients goals are and I am just here to help them achieve that and I love what I do .”
Within the Canonsburg community , Perris , whose wife , Niki , is a Certified Financial Planner and a board member of Court Appointed Special Advocate ( CASA ) for children , is a staunch supporter of the cause , donating 100 percent of his grand opening profits to the organization .
