NPT Celebrates 18 years!
This summer marks the 18th anniversary of Northern Physical Therapy. Eight years ago Janis and I made the leap from full time physical therapists to business owners when we purchased Northern Physical Therapy. While we knew this would be quite a change and challenge for us, we were optimistic about the differences that we could make in people's lives. We wanted to create a culture with a clinical team that was committed to helping people feel better.
While there have been challenges along the way, we are proud to say we successfully added an additional location and a variety of services including women's health physical therapy, massage, high school athletic training, fitness consultations, and programs for youth. These accomplishments could not have become a reality without the help of you. Every referral we have received from patients, physicians, nurses, community leaders and friends has made a positive impact on our business and for that, we thank you.
Respectfully,
Gina Otterbein
Co-owner and Physical Therapist
Yes, you do have a choice when it comes to your care!
Most often when a physician prescribes physical therapy, they simply give the patient a referral to a certain office without asking them about their preferences. That's why many people don't even know they have a choice. But you do, and it's important you choose what's right for you. Where you live and work, drive time, and supporting your local businesses are all factors that should be considered. So if you or someone you know is considering physical therapy, remember…it's your choice, and we hope you choose NPT.Explore the many offerings at NPT!

NPT People Profile: Janis Kemper, Physical Therapist and co-owner of NPT
After graduating from GVSU, I spent time in outpatient orthopedics, home health care, burn/wound care, nursing homes, and working with veterans. I am passionate about spinal manual therapy and have taken multiple continuing education courses honing these skills and earning a certification in the Mulligan approach. I feel it's all of these experiences that led me to the purchase of NPT in 2003. In recent years, I've spent less time treating patients and more time in billing so I can help our patients understand the ever-changing world of health insurance and Medicare.
When I'm not working at our clinic or on the computer managing medical records, you'd likely find me near Wayland where I live with my husband, three kids, and four hunting dogs. I enjoy spending quality time with my family, scrapbooking, card making, reading mysteries, and spending time at the cottage.
