Superior Physical Therapy launches new business branch

Quite often, physical therapy offices and sports training go hand-in-hand--and that's exactly the case now at Superior Physical Therapy in Traverse City. The company recently launched a new business branch on its existing location, Superior Sports Performance.

To coincide with the expansion, the company also hired on a new sports performance trainer.

The sports performance focus is on athletes of all skill levels to help them avoid injury, increase movement, speed, agility, strength, power, recovery and, of course, their knowledge of sports performance training. What's more is the programs can either be tailored to fit one athlete, or designed for entire teams to work together to enhance performance.

The performance training is led by Eric Shutler and the newest addition to the staff, Keith Bandli.

"Keith received his athletic training degrees from Lake Superior State as well as a Masters in Exercise Physiology from Northern Michigan University," says Andrew Gorecki, Superior Physical Therapy owner, via the company's Facebook page. "Since then Keith has worked in Alaska for two years in a physical therapy setting. Keith has been in Traverse City for four years in various physical therapy settings. Most notably Keith has worked alongside the Traverse City Wolves football team, Bay Reps Hockey, Grand Traverse Firefighters, special Olympians, and various high school and collegiate athletes."
