Today marks a truly special milestone for Putnam Physical Therapy — 40 years of dedicated care, compassion, and commitment to our community’s well-being.

It all started with a vision from our founder, Larry Burks, whose passion and dedication laid the foundation for everything we are today. Larry’s belief in personalized, compassionate care continues to inspire our team every day.
For four decades, we’ve had the honor of walking alongside thousands of patients through their healing journeys — sharing smiles, triumphs, and countless moments of progress.

We are deeply grateful to Larry, our incredible team, loyal patients, and supportive community for trusting us and growing with us through all these years. Every story of recovery inspires us to keep pushing forward.

Here’s to 40 years of making a difference — and many more to come. Thank you for being part of our Putnam PT family! ❤️

‼️ REMINDER!!! We are having a cookout this afternoon at 5:00pm to celebrate. Come on out and join in the fun with us! ‼️
