New Member Spotlight: Sullivan Physical Therapy

Posted on 08/04/2017 by Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce

Why did you join the Austin Chamber?
We wanted to be a part of the Austin community and have the opportunity to connect with alike and different businesses. We felt that it was important at this stage in our business to be empowered by and learn from other businesses in the community.

In 150 words or less, what is Sullivan Physical Therapy?
Sullivan Physical Therapy specializes in the health of both women and men. Our physical therapy addresses impairments of the lower back, pelvis, pelvic floor, sciatica, prostatitis, and more.

The goal of Sullivan Physical Therapy is to provide comprehensive care that encompasses strategies and interventions to promote and advance the health in women and men of all ages.

Why did your company decide to operate in Austin?
Austin is a growing and active community. We wanted to provide a service to the women and men of Austin where they can be treated for diagnosis with respect and dignity.

My favorite thing about the Austin Chamber is…
The diversity of the businesses.

What do you hope to gain from your Austin Chamber membership?
We hope to gain connections with other members as we want to learn, grow, and elevate our practice. In addition, we would like to increase the Austin business community awareness on pelvic health. We are excited to take every opportunity to learn more about business in Austin.

What do you want the world to know about your company’s commitment to the Central Texas region?
Sullivan Physical Therapy has a strong commitment to giving back to the community. Our physical therapists are encouraged to have an individual program contributing to the Austin Community. This has resulted in an online blog and podcast which is nationally named as one of the best blogs for physical therapy professionals to learn about the latest research, techniques, and technology.

In addition, we offer a student internship program, a physical therapist mentorship program, and a free webinar series to patients. As a group, Sullivan Physical Therapy contributes to the Austin Community by giving free seminars, attending health fairs and speaking at support groups. We teach classes at Austin Community College and South University about physical therapy, business ownership, management, and leadership. In 2015 and 2016, Sullivan Physical Therapy and our patients hosted a need drive for SafePlace, a shelter that provides safety for women and families affected by sexual and domestic violence. We also donated our time to work in the SafePlace warehouse organizing supplies and assisting other volunteers.

Is there anything else you would like to share with us?
We are the only physical therapy clinic in Austin that focuses exclusively on pelvic rehabilitation. It is difficult to find a pelvic physical therapy clinic in any city much less having nine highly trained pelvic physical therapists working at the same facility who constantly are sharing ideas about improving patient care and outcomes. This provides a strong network of continual improvement and constant learning between our therapists as well as great quality care to our patients. The physical therapists at our clinic are not only encouraged, but well-enabled to seek training opportunities that benefit the Austin Community and surrounding areas.

Sullivan Physical Therapy is one of the largest pelvic floor physical therapy specialty clinics in the country. We see patients from all over the United States and Mexico. We work alongside other healthcare providers to create a treatment plan that addresses the many facets of care required for healing. Sullivan Physical Therapy has been recognized by the Austin Woman’s Magazine, Better Business Bureau, and the Cedar Park Chamber of Commerce for the uniqueness of our business and the integrity of our practices.
