Physiotherapy Associates and LifeBridge Health Sports Medicine Form Partnership to Provide Leading Physical Therapy Program

Newswise - Physiotherapy Associates and LifeBridge Health Sports Medicine announced today they have formed a partnership to become the Baltimore area's leading outpatient physical therapy service company. LifeBridge Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation powered by Physiotherapy Associates provides sports medicine services and rehabilitation for elite athletes, orthopedic outpatients and chronic pain patients.

Initially, the company will have five clinic locations: Eldersburg, Owings Mills, Towson, Timonium, and one clinic inside LifeBridge Health & Fitness in Pikesville. The partnership will provide comprehensive outpatient physical therapy to patients in non-hospital settings. Patients will have access to expert care in sports medicine and performance, back and neck care, orthopedic physical therapy, post-operative rehabilitation, aquatic physical therapy, neurological rehabilitation, work injury rehabilitation, as well as many other specialty services.

"Physiotherapy Associates' leading clinical physical therapy services help round out the outstanding sports rehabilitation services provided by LifeBridge Health Sports Medicine," says David Gray, P.T., senior group director Physiotherapy Associates. "This new company will fill a need for Baltimore athletes and other patients with general physical therapy needs, while continuing to build on the long tradition these two groups have in treating local patients."

LifeBridge Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation powered by Physiotherapy Associates offers a broader set of physical therapy and sports medicine programs to Baltimore athletes and other types of patients than other local or national providers.

"The full continuum of care offered by LifeBridge Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation powered by Physiotherapy Associates is unlike any other program," said Matt Carlen, director of wellness at LifeBridge Health & Fitness. "Both athletes and physical therapy patients will experience completely integrated care with the advantage of utilizing one of the area's premier health clubs."
