"In my first experience with fascial manipulation I have had great success! Dr. Whiteford was thorough and determined in exploring 'why' my symptoms presented and persisted. The difference between today and when I first began treatment is tremendous. In addition, she's educated me in doing what I can do 'at home' to continually improve. Altogether, I'm very grateful for the experience, treatment and tools! Thank you, Dr. Whiteford!" -Rebecca L.

"Before I began my therapy at Appalachian Physical Therapy, I couldn't run 10 feet or climb 10 stairs without pain in my knee. Sometimes the pain would last for days if I walked for too long without resting. After working with Karen, I can now run and play with my kids without fear. I'm not afraid to go on hikes with my family or go to the gym. Karen and the team at Appalachian PT have given me back a part of my life I thought was no longer possible. I'm forever grateful!" -Raymond C.

"When I first started coming here, my lower back spasmed so badly in the mornings, I could barely get out of bed. When I tried to bend my knees to pick something up from the floor, the pain that shot across my knee would nearly drop me to the floor. Now I can lie on the floor and get up with ease and getting out of bed in the mornings doesn't start the day with pain. I barely notice my lower back pain now that it doesn't hurt anymore. My knee is almost completely better and I can bend down without fear anymore." -Paula K.

Our Story

Appalachian Physical Therapy was first opened in Pennington Gap, Virginia in 1986 by Bill Whiteford and Colleen Murphy. It began as a small outpatient practice, with contracts serving nursing home residents and homebound patients. One year later, Bill and Colleen felt compelled to move to the Shenandoah Valley. In November 1987, Appalachian Physical Therapy relocated to the Harrison Plaza in downtown Harrisonburg, Virginia. Bill and Colleen were married in 1988. Their practice continued to grow, and in 1993 Appalachian Physical Therapy relocated to a larger facility on Deyerle Avenue in Harrisonburg, behind the Valley Mall, complete with a pool and fitness center. It began as a small outpatient practice, with contracts serving nursing home residents and home-bound patients.

Smaller satellite offices were later opened in Broadway, on South Main Street in Harrisonburg, and in Bridgewater. Gradual expansion led to clinics in Richmond, Virginia and Pinehurst, North Carolina. Bill and Colleen found the smaller offices to be more convenient and easier to staff, and the large office building behind the mall was sold in July 2004.

Appalachian Physical Therapy has been and continues to be a Christian based practice owned by physical therapists. Our focus is on excellence in treatment. We provide hands-on care in a comprehensive approach that considers the needs of the person as a whole.
