Celebrating Our 20th Anniversary in 2023!

Let’s take a look back at a few things we’re celebrating this year.

Our Story:

Matt Condon, JD, MBA founded the company in 2003 with the belief that the market would respond to a mission-driven physical and occupational therapy company that was hyper-focused on exceptional service and a technological backbone that would provide clients with meaningful outcome data.

Our first clinic was in North Kansas City, Missouri where Matt served as the front desk person.

We didn’t see many patients at first (in fact, we will see more patients today than we saw in our first year of business), but we marketed everywhere and anywhere that would let us and our efforts paid off.

In the years that followed we became one of the fastest growing physical and occupational therapy organizations in the country, and while much has changed, our mission and commitment to excellence have remained exactly the same.
