SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT MRS Physical Therapy— Where You’re Family F or nearly 20 years, the MRS Physical Therapy family has been growing, providing patients with excellent care by a physical therapist—not an aide or assistant. Attention to the needs of the patient; one-on-one, personalized care; and willingness to go the extra mile makes it one of the area’s best practices for those who require therapy services. “Every patient is unique and we tailor our treatment approach to meet their individual needs,” said physical therapist Laura Oleski, MPT. “We believe in positive reinforcement and setting goals to help patients regain function. We dispel the many misconceptions out there regarding trendy approaches, and we stress consistent activity to get you on the road to success.” Oleski graduated magna cum laude from Gannon University in May 1998, with a BS in Therapeutic Recreation. She completed her undergraduate clinical internship at Lake Erie Institute of Rehabilitation working with brain injury patients. She completed her master’s degree in Physical Therapy at Gannon in 2000. Located on Peach Street, MRS Physical Therapy’s early morning and evening hours allow all patients to access the care they need while taking into consideration busy schedules. In addition to being a fixture on the street, MRS Physical Therapy is a fixture in the local community. It has been acknowledged as a Bread Box Winner for the Second Harvest Food Bank and has supported the American Red Cross by hosting blood drives. “In Erie, everyone knows everyone, and our patients truly are like family to us,” Oleski said. “So being active in the community is just another way to be present for those who need us. We have patients who come back to us time and again because they tweak something and know we’re here for them. We have one gentleman who belongs to a local gym and works out religiously, but he still comes here for guidance to ensure that the exercises he’s doing address his own body’s needs.” By being licensed for Direct Access, and by being a Medicare Certified Rehab Agency that accepts the majority of insurance plans on the market, patients do not need a physician’s referral for physical therapy treatment. “Call us and describe your unique situation. We can see most patients within 24 business hours for an evaluation,” Oleski said. “It’s that simple. You’ll receive the best possible care and you won’t be a number. At MRS you will be guaranteed to see a physical therapist. You choose your family dentist and family doctor; let MRS Physical Therapy be your family’s chosen physical therapy location.” For more information on MRS Physical Therapy, go to the website at mrsphysicaltherapy.com/erie, where you can find listings of all of the conditions treated, the locations, and the forms needed to be filled out before your first appointment.
