For Tom Perone and Kerry Hite, co-owners of
Performance Physical Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation, an interest in helping people heal grew
from their own experiences as physical therapy
patients: Perone after shoulder surgery, Hite after
surgery for a hip injury during college.
Since opening their Columbia clinic in 2018,
the business partners in addition to three physical therapists see baseball players, dancers and
gymnasts come through their doors.
“We have patients who want to play sports, or
they want to run a marathon or they want to get
back to doing these bigger things,” Hite, 37, said.
They also work with “weekend-warrior athletes,”
added Perone, 44.
The key to their success, the pair said, has
been dedication to each patient.
“We make sure that we’re actually physically
working with our patients: correcting, modifying, treating them,” Hite said. “We want everyone to get the attention that they need and have
the individual type of care that they want.”
