"When Assistance Is Needed"
Together, the Central and Southern Regions of PTS employ nearly 350 Therapists, Therapy Assistants and support personnel.

Traditionally, when therapists completed training, they were employed in rehabilitation departments within hospitals and nursing homes. Their desire was to establish a group practice which would provide diversity in the number of programs and services offered.
