Our History.

HOW IT STARTED...

Kevin and Jennifer opened their first clinic, Youngs Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab, in Greenville, NC in October of 2012. The 1,650 square foot space was an ideal starting point to establish a successful physical therapy practice, but Kevin knew it was not his ultimate vision.

Specializing in sports-related injuries and an active population, Kevin’s vision was to have a physical therapy clinic with a sports performance component where athletes could rehab and then train in their sport.

AND NOW...

In April of 2017, Kevin’s vision became a reality with the opening of a new 9,330 square foot facility, and with a new building came a new name — Youngs Physical Therapy & Sports Performance. The modern office has an open treatment area for physical therapy as well as three private exam rooms.

Other features include an open space for group exercise classes and personal training clients, a massage therapy room, a space dedicated to Pilates and yoga, and a sports performance area that includes turf, track lanes, weight training area, and a batting cage.
