Local Business: Synergy Physical Therapy

Mapleton’s first physical therapy office opening

Two business partners are bringing physical therapy to Mapleton for the first time this May.

Dr. David Hunt and Dr. Robert Snow, physical therapists and co-owners of Synergy Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, will open their third location on May 1 in the Harvest Park development just west of Highway 89. They currently operate two locations in Spanish Fork.

“There is no physical therapy in Mapleton, and it is a growing community where people are used to commuting out of it for services,” Dr. Hunt said. “We saw an opportunity there in Harvest Park to reach out to them.”

Synergy’s new location is currently under construction. The new 1,500-square-foot building is located next to Maple Mountain Pharmacy and Utah Valley Pediatrics.

It seems to be a central location for Mapleton, at least on Highway 89,” Dr. Snow said. “We wanted to make it easy for people to get to us.”

Synergy Physical Therapy assists patients of all ages ranging from those who have had major surgery to car accident victims and those with overuse or sports injuries, sprains and strains. A physician’s referral is not required to utilize their services, and they accept most insurance plans.

“Physical therapy helps people recover safely and effectively,” Dr. Hunt said. “We’re the experts that can take you by the hand and help you do things that reduce your pain, improve your motion and get you stronger.”

Dr. Hunt and Dr. Snow are both board-certified orthopedic clinical specialists, the highest board certification available for orthopedic physical therapy. This allows them to accurately diagnose and treat problems that arise in the muscles, joints and bones. “Because of our advanced training, we’re able to more quickly and more effectively help you solve your problem,” Dr. Hunt said.

They are also both local residents, with Dr. Hunt calling Springville home and Dr. Snow living in Mapleton.

Dr. Hunt moved from California to Springville in 2010 and was working in Orem when the opportunity came to open a physical therapy practice in the Advanced Wellness Center at 205 N. Main, Spanish Fork. Two years later, he and Dr. Snow opened a second location at the Athlete Development Center located at 132 Volunteer Drive in Spanish Fork. This partnership allowed the practice to provide better access for patients from the south.

Dr. Hunt had worked with Dr. Snow in California for five years. Born in Salt Lake City, Dr. Snow had spent the majority of his life in California and built a successful career there in physical therapy. He and his family were considering moving elsewhere when Dr. Hunt suggested coming to Utah and looking at the Synergy practice.

Dr. Snow and his family decided to make the move, and they’ve loved living here. “We talk about how much more relaxed we are here,” Dr. Snow said. “I’m much less stressed and having a lot more fun…. It’s just a completely different environment and one that we really love.”

He believes this frame of mind translates into happy patients. Both he and Dr. Hunt said their business model is built around quality, not quantity. Together, they’ve built a network of doctors who they collaborate with and can refer patients to based on their specific injuries or problems.

“We’ve tried to become the customer service revolution in healthcare,” Dr. Hunt said.
