From Vision to Community Care: The Story of Altamont PT
In 1999, Brian Thornton was working as a home care physical therapist in the Hilltowns when he spotted a small building for sale at 122 Maple Avenue in Altamont, NY. To most, it was just another property. But Brian saw something more—a perfect home for a physical therapy clinic where people could feel welcomed, supported, and cared for.
Fast forward 26 years, and that vision has become Altamont Physical Therapy: the community’s trusted choice for quality, compassionate care. What began as one therapist’s idea has grown into a thriving clinic that has helped thousands of patients in Altamont and the Hilltowns move better, recover stronger, and live healthier lives.
