‘THEY NEVER GIVE UP’ What Keeps Olivier Coming Back to PT Pro
Inspired by Delish.com
Olivier Fontana has been going to PT Pro for over a decade now. “I’m good at injuring myself,” he explains. “Pick any articulation in the human body, and there’s a 70% chance they’ve worked on it.” He laughs, “I have a 50-year- old mind, but I think I have a 25-year-old body!” PT Pro is the latest in a long line of physical therapists for Olivier; he’s seen them all his life. A colleague recommended PT Pro, and they were close

to where he worked, so Olivier decided to give them a try. For years, he saw Maureen; as she got busier, he began seeing Mary Frances, who has treated him for the last three years. “Maureen and Mary Frances stay at the top of their field. They’re always telling me about the training they’ve been to and what techniques they’re trying,” he says, “Sometimes, I’ve been the guinea pig!” Olivier has recommended PT Pro to many friends and colleagues over the years because of PT Pro’s thoroughness. “They never give up,” he says, “If something isn’t working, they’ll try something else.” He also appreciates their holistic approach to the human body. “If you come in for your knee, they’ll check your ankles and everything else that could possibly impact your knee,” he says. “They look at the whole body and how other things can impact the ailment you have.” Olivier is the vice president of marketing at Neal Analytics, a cloud, data, and AI consulting firm. He’s originally from France and spent seven years in Holland before moving to the U.S. with his wife 18 years ago. They planned to stay only a couple of years, Olivier says, “but a couple of years became forever.” After 25 years of marriage, he and his wife have three children between the ages of 17 and 25, with one child each being born in France, Holland, and the U.S. Reflecting on the different physical therapists he’s seen over his lifetime, Olivier remarks, “Some PTs will switch back and forth between patients or even watch TV while you do your exercises. But at PT Pro, you’re there for a full hour, and your therapist is 100% dedicated to you.” That dedication is what keeps him coming back. “They really want you to get better,” Olivier says, “I always feel like their No. 1, 2, and 3 priority when I’m with them.”
