Renue Physical Therapy began in 2011 in when Tony Klapish noticed a pattern among physical therapy practices he didn't like. Rather than bouncing clients between multiple therapists and assistants on each visit, he founded Mid-Michigan-based Renue Physical Therapy, which promises patients one licensed physical therapist throughout their treatment.
The concept caught on. Renue's fourth office, and first outside of the Tri-Cities, opened on S. Main in Ann Arbor in mid-January.
"We decided on Ann Arbor because we thought it was a good fit," says A.J. Grzesiak, managing partner of the Ann Arbor Renue office. "It's a competitive market for sure, but it's a great area for healthcare. We're hoping to contribute to the quality here."
The 2,300 square foot location includes open gym space, a clinical area and private treatment rooms. The convenient location of the office at the corner of S. Main and Ann Arbor-Saline Rd. was a major factor in the decision to locate there.
"Convenience is big for therapy, because clients are typically going two to three times per week for quite awhile," says Grzesiak.
The new clinic currently employs a staff of three, and Grzesiak hopes to add another physical therapist over the next six months, and to grow to a three-therapist office within two years. He also hopes to grow Renue's community involvement.
"We want to become part of the community," he says. "It's important to us to be a place where people want to come."
