Best Physical Therapy Center AND Best Holistic Care/Wellness Center AVANTI THERAPY
Avanti is a full service outpatient physical therapy practice, offering a variety of treatments for the full spectrum of orthopedic and neurological problems. Co-owner Heather Marinaccio Boak says that Avanti’s quality of care sets them apart from their competitors. “We only hire the best therapists,� she says. “We provide them enough time with their patients to do their best work. Most PT clinics only allow 15 to 20 minutes with a therapist and the remainder of the appointment is with an aide. We have found that people heal faster when they are seen one on one with their treating therapist for an hour-long visit.� When asked what sets them apart from other physical therapy clinics in the area, Marinaccio Boak says, “We have been told by our patients that we are their safe haven for healing. We believe that says it all.�5350 Manhattan Circle, Ste. 100, Boulder, 303.543.1201; avantitherapy.com.
