“I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.” – PHIL 4:13
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.
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.
