It’s the same kind of care you know and love, just at a different location.

Professional Physical Therapy Services, a private physical therapy group, has been located at Clarke County Hospital since 1984. Recently, the business moved out of the hospital into a new building located at 123 E. Jefferson St., just off the Osceola square.

“A lot of the driving force behind it (the move) is people were having a hard time affording health care, and so, we’re trying to figure out a better way of providing cheaper health care for the individual,” said owner Travis Krutsinger, who purchased the business in 2006. “So, here, we have a copayment situation versus down where we used to be, it was deductible-based.”

In addition to Krutsinger, Professional Physical Therapy Services has two physical therapists — Dr. Laura Walter and Dr. Stormy Wilson — as well as physical therapist assistant Callie Davis and office manager Amanda Buttz.

The business offers flexible hours if people have a hard time with the 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekday hours.

There is also a fitness center in the building, which is open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. The fitness center isn’t just for patients. It is open to the public.

“It’s the longest running fitness center in town. We’ve been open since 1993,” Krutsinger said.

According to Krutsinger, the types of physical therapy that Professional Physical Therapy Services offers is broad.

They specialize in rehabilitation, work injuries, joint pain, arthritic pain and offer physical capacity profile testing for employers. New services that is offered is drug screening and dry needling. Also, the business offers some in-home therapy if a nursing agency isn’t required.

“We’re wide open. We do orthopedics, wound care, ergonomic assessments,” Krutsinger said.

Grand opening

While the business has already had a “soft opening,” a grand opening was scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Krutsinger said he is excited for the business to be located near the square in Osceola.

“A lot of people have really liked the easy accessibility to their homes or work. A lot of people work up around the square,” he said. “The atmosphere is different. So, they walk in here and a lot of the patients have commented that it’s just a lot more relaxed atmosphere.”
