SOUTHWICK – After beginning as an on-site physical therapy practice, MyPT is switching gears to include a brand new physical therapy clinic at 108 Congamond Road, with its grand opening on Oct. 30.
MyPT owner Dr. Tom Naro said the event will include a ribbon cutting at 12:30 p.m., hosted by the Greater Westfield Chamber of Commerce, followed by live demonstrations at 1 and 2 p.m., wrapping up with an open house from 4 to 7 p.m.. He added that there will be food throughout the day, including soups by Red Riding Hood Café and CBC Meathouse will provide sliders as well.
There will also be a canned food drive alongside the grand opening.
“With the canned food drive we want to say ‘come on over and let’s support everyone else,’ especially everyone that needs food with winter coming up fast,” he said.
While all of these events are going on, Naro explained that he wants to use the grand opening as a way to connect with potential clients.
“It’s a meet and greet, hopefully we get people that are interested in physical therapy, or it’s their first time and they want to learn more about it,” he said.
Naro explained that he practices custom physical therapy.
“I specialize in the therapeutic remedies from muscle and joint problems, it could be an injury, an illness or a disease but I help my patients with head to toe relief. People come to see me and I hit the reset button on their bodies,” he said.
Naro started MyPT in 2017 and has 13 years of experience as a physical therapist. This is the second clinic he’s opened. Naro said he decided to open another clinic after a colleague suggested that he do so. Once he found a good location, he said the new property underwent four months of construction before it opened in September.
Naro said that he treats everyone on a case to case basis.
“We are not a cookie cutter clinic, everyone is treated one-on-one by me. Our goal is if someone comes in and feels kinda down, we want them to leave feeling better and a little more confident,” he said.
While he is adding a clinic to the mix, Naro said that he will continue to do on-site physical therapy with his clients.
“My mornings consist of on-site and house calls. It’s not that my patients can’t leave their homes, it’s just more convenient for them,” said Naro. “I bring my physical therapy table, my doctor bag so I have all my gear and we set up and do muscle and joint therapy in their homes.”
Naro said the clinic’s motto, “heal better, live better,” is all about establishing a positive, healthy culture for his patients and his community.
