Panther Physical Therapy - A Community Based on Healing
W
hen you’re recuperating from a debilitating injury,
the last thing you need is to be treated like a
number, rather than a patient. At Panther Physical
Therapy, the emphasis always is on you and getting
you back on your feet.
“We’ve been here for 14 years—many of our incredible staff having
been here for over 10 years—and we pride ourselves on being part of
the community,” said April Peacock, Outpatient Marketing Coordinator.
“It’s kind of like ‘Cheers’ here in that past patients like to stop in and
catch up. We have several patients who have had multiple injuries over
the years and they’re like family, stopping in to visit and update the
staff on how they’re doing.”
One thing that returning and
new patients will both enjoy
at Panther is the fresh look the
staff has been phasing into the
practice. The facility has been
repainted and refreshed this
year to give it that “like-new”
feel. They’ve also been working
on making things more efficient
for patients by improving and
refining service and work flows to
better serve everyone who walks
through their doors.
“We have prided ourselves to
do what is right by putting our patients first. The way things were done
14, 10, or even five years ago has changed. We are always striving to
deliver excellent treatment and to stand out from other clinics so our
patients get the best care possible,” Peacock said.
Part of those changes includes how physical therapy as a field itself
has changed over the years from a reactive solution to a problem to
an evidence-based proactive wellness program to achieve the highest
functional level.
At Panther Physical Therapy, patients are treated after an accident
or surgery, complete their therapy, and can continue on to post-

therapy conditioning if they so choose,
keeping in close contact with their
physical therapist as they perform the
exercises that will keep them strong
and hopefully help prevent future
incidents.
“People can structure their post-
therapy program frequency the way
they want to,” Peacock said. “We’re
here to help regardless of what they
want to do. They can have time
with their therapist or just use the
gym equipment and work out. We
encourage them to do what will give them the most positive results.”
Panther Physical Therapy accepts most major insurances for
physical therapy services. All of our therapists have their Direct Access
licenses, which allow them to treat under most insurances for 30 days
without a prescription. However, the post-therapy conditioning is an
out-of-pocket expense. That expense is comparable to monthly gym
membership and more beneficial in that your routine will be in close
proximity to the physical therapist that you’ve trusted your care to.
What’s more, Panther Physical Therapy gives back to the
community by supporting various charities and causes that are
central to the lives of its patients and staff.
