In 2005, Genesis Rehab was started, after Skibo saw a need to change the way physical therapy was delivered in the rural environment, treating the client as a whole, with the physical impairment just being the starting point. He set out to provide an atmosphere that welcomed clients warmly and treated them as part of a family, understanding that our patients often come to us at their worst, and demand from us our best. After opening the doors in August, he has seen Genesis grow from providing limited therapy services in a 1700 sq ft. office, to relocating to a 5300 sq. ft. facility that treats patients from surrounding counties including Greene, Sumter, Hale, and Perry counties. Genesis Rehab sees patients ranging from 6 months to 90 years old, with diagnosis of developmental delay to weakness, and everything in between. With such a wide variety of patients and pathologies seen over 14 years, Mr. Holman has a background in almost every aspect of physical therapy and remains diligent in placing patient needs at the forefront of the services provided at Genesis. In addition to this, it was apparent that clients were seeking the most advanced treatment options in physical therapy, so in 2002, Mr. Holman began to partner with the International Academy of Orthopedic Medicine to maintain knowledge on the latest “Best Practice” techniques that have been found to be most beneficial in evidence based studies. In 2018, Genesis Rehab entered into a collaboration with FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Center, the premiere provider of balance and vestibular rehabilitation throughout the US, further expanding the services and expertise in returning people to living and loving life. With this continually evolving information, excellent staff, a patient-centered treatment approach, and a love for teaching, FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Center-Demopolis has become the premiere location for physical therapy in West Alabama. MEET OUR TEAM: William Holman, locally known as Skibo, was born in Demopolis, AL and lived there for 21 years. He married his high school sweetheart, Kristi Evans, in 1994, and moved to Bolivar, MO to pursue a degree in physical therapy. After receiving his BS in Biology from Southwest Baptist Univ. in 1996, he continued at SBU, receiving a Masters in Physical Therapy in 1998. He and Kristi returned to Demopolis, where Skibo worked as Director of Inpatient Rehabilitation at Bryan W. Whitfield Hospital, and eventually became Director of Home Health and Director of Physical Therapy at Marengo Nursing Home. While at BWWMH, he taught multiple classes on diabetic exercise guidelines, wound care, transfer training, and classes at local sporting events on preventing sporting injuries. During this time, he was also thrilled to become the father of Josie, born in 2001, and Ellie, born in 2004. In 2005, Skibo and Kristi began Genesis Rehab to develop a patient-centered rehabilitation program. Don Sprewell is a Licensed Physical Therapist and a Licensed Athletic Trainer.
