In 2014, Mike and Kelly moved to Bolivia, NC to start their own private practice. They each spent time working in outpatient and hospital settings and believed they could build a practice based on a patient model, not the ever present business model. Mike and Kelly believe the best results are seen with consistent, individualized, one and one treatment from a licensed physical therapist for the entire session. Helping patient’s achieve their goals is their number one priority. After the business started to grow based on this model, they were able to employ therapists who believe the same. They became physical therapists to make a difference and help patients accomplish their goals in order to live gratifying lives. Mike and Kelly loved Bolivia, Southport and their small farm; however, they moved to the Pinehurst area to expand their practice. They are excited about the addition of a new location and the ability to help as many people as possible.
