Founding Principles


PRS is passionate about four founding principles:

  1. Rehab services should positively impact the lives of patients and team members.
  2. Top quality physician practices deserve top quality rehab services.
  3. Profitability is the byproduct of patient-centered comprehensive care combined with a sound, legally complaint business model.
  4. Servant Leadership provides the optimal culture within which to achieve the PRS Mission.

We founded PRS with one purpose in mind: To help physicians establish and manage successful physical/occupational therapy services that integrated our rehab department within their existing medical practice. Its co-founders, Tom Pennington, P.T., and Phil Clements, have blended their clinical and business management skills and have dedicated their professional careers to providing quality, results-oriented therapy with the patient at the focal point of the business.

With over fifty years of combined of combined rehab and management experience, Tom and Phil are considered the pioneers of physician based rehab services. PRS took a private practice evidence-based physical therapy model and has fully integrated patient satisfaction, functional outcomes, and clinical service seamlessly with the demanding expectations of our physician partners who insist on clinical and business excellence, legal compliance, and aggressive but conservative comprehensive patient care.
