The physical therapy department at CTPO consists of Kevin McHorse, Megan Carlegis, and Brian Kratz.  Together, they are dedicated to keeping therapy sessions fun and interactive, while effective and based on the latest research.

Our physical therapy program is designed to help young people return to daily activities and sports quickly and safely, with emphasis on correcting poor mechanics and preventing future injury. Our goal is to teach the young athlete the importance of taking an active role in their recovery and developing long term habits of taking care of their body. We try to minimize office visits and passive modalities while emphasizing home exercise programs that can be easily worked into the patient’s daily schedule.

For active athletes, we also try to communicate with coaches and trainers to help the transition back to sports go smoothly and quickly. For this reason, we develop athlete-specific return to sports programs.

In addition to treating patients in the clinic, Kevin, Megan, and Brian participate in community education activities to teach the developing athlete injury-prevention techniques and promote health and fitness.  By educating athletes, parents, coaches, and trainers on common injuries and ways to prevent injury occurrence, the athlete spends more time being active and participating in their sport.
