PRO PT’s Story
Preston Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Physical Therapy,
PRO PT, opened its doors on August 1st, 2000 under the ownership of Teresa
Reynolds, PT MBA and Shanda Reynolds McNew, MPT. The mother-daughter team
recognized the importance of providing quality, close to home physical therapy
services to the Preston County area and has emphasized personal, hands-on care
ever since. PRO PT was founded on only a few simple fundamental values: 1)
treat every patient exactly the way you would want your own child, spouse,
parent, or grandparent treated; 2) take care of the entire person, always
looking at the big picture as many seemingly unrelated issues can all impact
one another; and 3) spend any and all necessary time with your patients while
only charging rates you feel are fair and reasonable and allow you to sleep
easily at night. Shanda and Teresa have
always focused on treating their patients like family and the true friends they
have become over the years.
In
October 2005, PRO PT moved from its original facility and opened a new, larger
state-of-art site along Route 7 in Kingwood. With the area’s growing physical
therapy demand, PRO PT needed to better accommodate for its patients, add space
to provide more personalized care, and introduce new treatment options. The
clinic features an expanded fitness area for patients and community members,
enhancements to PRO PT’s current pediatric, geriatric, balance and fall
prevention, orthopedic and surgery aftercare, and sports medicine programs,
added wound care management, and a heated indoor therapy pool for aquatic
therapy. Then in May 2014, to better
serve the expansive Preston County and surrounding areas, PRO PT announced the
opening of an additional facility in Masontown. Under the direction of Tiffany
Dolly, DPT, the staff in this location have opened their hearts to the Valley
district communities and continue to provide the experienced professional, yet
personal, relationship-focused physical therapy care that PRO PT was founded
on.
In
2016, when Teresa retired to devote her time to being “Nan” to her 3 grandsons
and Harley-riding with the love of her life, Shanda and her husband Glen took a
leap of faith and bought PRO PT in its entirety, making the mother-daughter duo
now a husband-and-wife team, but still rooted in the same 3 fundamental
principles and armed with the invaluable mentorship Teresa taught them over the
years and continues to provide moving forward.
Shanda and Glen have been very fortunate, blessed with a growing clinic
that continues to be well received in the Preston County area with 2 locations
currently. However, the owners truly
credit PRO PT’s success to the amazing team of therapists and supportive staff
that take phenomenal care of our patients and our community. At both locations, PRO PT now employs five
full time physical therapists and two physical therapy assistants as well as
eleven of the most amazing and dedicated support staff, all of whom take pride
in improving our patients’ lives through a personable, goal-oriented, hands-on
approach to physical therapy.
Shanda
and Glen are pleased to be able to offer comprehensive physical therapy
services for their friends and neighbors, where they have chosen to raise their
two sons, and in the place they will forever call
“home.” “We have an exceptional staff
that understands that no one ever wants to need physical therapy, but when they
do, it is our mission to make an imperfect situation the best it can possibly
be. No one wants physical therapy, but
they do want their life back. . . our team will help you get there and make the
process as enjoyable as possible along the way.” In the future, PRO PT hopes to continue to
build on its already strong community relationships and commits to remaining
Preston County’s “key
to quality rehabilitation".
