ATI Physical Therapy (ATI), one of the nation’s largest providers of physical therapy (PT) services, today announced its entrance into the Atlanta market with three new clinics in Braselton, Milton and Suwanee opening this month. The openings, which bring ATI’s clinic count to over 900 across the nation, aim to increase access to physical therapy in underserved communities throughout the Atlanta area. ATI plans to continue to open clinics throughout the Atlanta metro over the next five years to increase its service offerings to the population, which is estimated to grow by over 3 million people to 8.6 million by 2050, according to the Atlanta Regional Commission. At least seven additional clinics are planned for the area by year’s end.
“The sprawl of Atlanta’s suburban market and its challenging traffic patterns create an environment where easy access to physical therapy can be difficult. As such, convenience is a driver for Atlantaarea consumers. ATI is bringing clinical best practices to these communities that don’t currently have optimal access to physical therapy,” said Nate Bard, Chief Growth Officer at ATI. “By establishing clinics in best-in-market retail centers, we offer residents access to physical therapy that can easily coincide with their daily routines, allowing them consistent care for maintaining or regaining physical health.”
“As the leader of the physical therapy industry, ATI is committed to providing improved access to physical therapy. These openings reflect the need for convenient, patient-centered care to help patients live healthy, active lives,” said Chris Maschhoff, PT, DPT, ATI’s District Director of Georgia. “I’m thrilled to bring ATI’s leading best practices, exceptional results and outstanding customer service to the people of Atlanta.”
