Physiotherapy Associates, a leading provider of outpatient physical rehabilitation, today announced a partnership with Performance Health to deliver the TheraBand™ Active Care System. Performance Health manufactures TheraBand, Biofreeze® and other market leading rehabilitation and wellness brands.

"We know that our success stems from the investments we make in our patients, clinicians, and in the innovative tools and educational programs that support patient outcomes," stated Hank Balavender, Chief Executive Officer, Physiotherapy Associates. "It's not often that we come across a program such as the TheraBand Active Care System that delivers success on multiple levels and with proven results."

"We are very pleased to have this opportunity to work with Physiotherapy Associates and support their dedicated practitioners' efforts in changing lives," said Marshall Dahneke, CEO, Performance Health. "It's very gratifying to know that this partnership and our Active Care System will further enhance the great work already being done by Physiotherapy Associates."

"Patients are investing in their personal health and looking for products to help in their recovery and overall wellness," added Will Hall, Regional Vice President, Physiotherapy Associates. "We are engaging both our clinicians and patients at unprecedented levels with this program. Engagement isn't easy but when you achieve it, you get satisfied patients. This partnership is a win for everyone."

Performance Health's TheraBand Active Care System provides therapists with proven, practical methods for engaging patients with exercise. It also inspires the patient to incorporate therapeutic exercise into their everyday lives. The TheraBand Active Care System provides therapists with the tools that inspire patients to become an active partner in their recovery. Patients progress faster because exercise continues between therapy sessions.

Further evidence of Physiotherapy Associates commitment to patient outcomes is its investment in TheraBand™ CLX™ Consecutive Loops. This innovative exercise product combines multiple tools and an intuitive, comfortable grip and anchor system into one portable, lightweight and effective package. It allows Physiotherapy Associates patients to be even more engaged in their exercises in any setting—in clinic and at home—while reducing the hassle and need for numerous products.

"The versatility of the TheraBand CLX allows me to take care of my patients in the clinic, at home, or on the road," commented Kevin E. Wilk, PT, DPT, Associate Clinical Director for Champion Sports Medicine (a Physiotherapy Associates Facility) in Birmingham, Alabama. "The CLX is truly the next big thing in sports and orthopedic rehab. I use it with patients every day."

"CLX is built on the trusted TheraBand progression system of colors that I rely on with all of my patients," added Todd Ellenbecker MS, PT, SCS, OCS, CSCS, Chairman of the USTA Sport Science Committee and Clinic Director of Physiotherapy Associates Scottsdale Sports Clinic. "This breakthrough product follows the TheraBand evidence-based approach. There are over 10 clinical studies on CLX completed or underway. I know as I integrate this product into my practice, I will get the results my patients are hoping for."
