Orthopedic & Spine Physical Therapy PC is celebrating its 20th year in business.<\/p>\n

Owner Denise Buher opened the business in 1996, after working for several years as a senior therapist on the staff of Glens Falls Hospital. Buher is a certified therapist in mechanical diagnosis and therapy of the spine from the McKenzie Institute. She is also a certified strength and conditioning specialist.<\/p>\n

Starting out as a solo practitioner, she hired a physical therapy assistant the following year, and he is still part of the practice today.<\/p>\n

Gradually, she added more employees and now, 20 years later, she manages a staff of 15 people, including four full-time and two part-time physical therapists, one full-time and two part-time PT assistants, with six administrative and support staff.<\/p>\n

The practice now operates out of two locations. One is a state-of-the-art facility located at 3 Hunter Brook Lane in Queensbury and the other, at 1391 Route 9 in Moreau, opened in 2005 and has been completely renovated.<\/p>\n

Buher and her team work to assess musculo-skeletal problems by looking at the body's movement and analyzing pain patterns to determine the cause of the pain. They work with patients suffering from sports and work-related injuries, as well as arthritis and overuse injuries. Many other patients who are recovering from fractures or surgery also benefit from working with Buher and her team.<\/p>\n

The team also works with patients on ways to prevent injuries by assessing workplace ergonomics and identifying patterns that can cause future injuries.<\/p>\n

The team observes and coaches employees at their work site to correct the root causes of discomfort, while providing education on safe body mechanics and posture.<\/p>\n

Buher attributes their growth and reputation in the community to the quality of services.<\/p>\n

"I knew that I could create and provide a better environment for both the patients and my employees, and I believe that is why people continue to come to us," she said. "I've had people come up to me in the mall, at the grocery store, or at a restaurant, telling me about the high quality of treatment and support they have received at our clinics."<\/p>\n

Buher and her experienced staff pride themselves on providing a warm, friendly, caring and healing atmosphere for their patients.<\/p>\n

"Making this our focus and priority has resulted in a culture of caring and treatment of which we are all proud to be a part," she said.<\/p>\n

In September, as part of their 20th anniversary celebration, Buher is working with other local business owners, politicians, and nonprofit groups to hold a community service day, dedicated to educating people about the growing heroin and opioid epidemic.<\/p>\n

The day-long event will be held outdoors under tents on the property of the Orthopedic & Spine Physical Therapy in Queensbury. The date has not been determined.<\/p>\n

There will be a variety of educational and informative activities for attendees to participate in and refreshments and light food will be available.<\/p>\n
