BEYOND THE STRETCH

A THERAPY PARTNERS GROUP NEWSLETTER

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO & COO

When your job is to create a moment with someone that lifts them up, makes them feel better, and enhances their quality of life, you know you are in the right industry. Across our organization, at all of our clinics, we talk with the teammates and patients who personify "a great place to work," and we see the TPG Way in real time. As leaders within the company, our primary focus is to make sure everyone is coming to work with a purposeful excitement around the culture and environment we have all developed. This energy is contagious and extends to each connection and patient interaction.

Then, every February when the physical therapy world comes together at the APTA Combined Sections Meeting, our profession shines even brighter. Nothing fuels professional motivation quite like being surrounded by thousands of eager, enthusiastic, and extremely talented clinicians ready to enter the field and put all of that fresh knowledge into practice. As we looked across a sea of booths in the exhibit hall, attended outstanding presentations by our own team members, reconnected with many familiar faces, and made new connections, we left Boston inflated with pride. We couldn’t be prouder of what has been created here at TPG, to talk about our family of brands, to welcome new teammates, and to celebrate our future with the incredible team that has been built. The TPG Way is not a business slogan, it is who we are and it is our legacy.

RESIDENCY RESIDENCY RELATIONSHIPS RELATIONSHIPS

Being a resident expedites your path to expertise in the field of Physical Therapy. Mentorship EMPOWERS the mentee to be able to achieve greater understanding more quickly. Serving as a faculty member in the residency allows more experienced clinicians the ability to CONNECT to the next generation of driven clinicians and EXCEED the limitations we have when working solo. It allows everyone to learn and support others as we all strive to be BEST-IN-CLASS physical therapists.
