Therapist-Owned Physical Therapy Practice joins forces to enhance patient care across Kansas.

LEAWOOD, Kan., Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Preferred Physical Therapy (PPT) has proudly announced its latest acquisition of Elite Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy (Elite), a highly respected therapist-owned physical therapy practice located in Leawood, KS. This acquisition represents a strategic expansion, allowing both companies to deliver even more comprehensive care to patients throughout the state. PPT is one branch of the Advanced and Preferred Physical Therapy Family with clinics across Kansas and Missouri.

"We are thrilled to welcome the Elite Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy team into the Preferred Physical Therapy Family," said Karen Wilson, PT, DPT, CEO of Preferred and Advanced Physical Therapy.
