EXTON, Pa., June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Physiotherapy Associates, the nation’s foremost provider of outpatient rehabilitation services, announced today that it has acquired Rehabilitation Consultants, Inc. (RCI) of Wilmington, DE. This acquisition builds on Physiotherapy Associates’ dynamic growth initiative, which includes acquisitions, joint ventures and 35 de novo clinic openings in 2011.

Andrew DeVoe, CEO of Physiotherapy Associates, stated, “As a leader in the physical therapy market, we want to take advantage of the growing need for our services. Bringing the RCI team into the Physiotherapy Associates family emphasizes the outstanding quality of service they provide to their patients. We are pleased to have RCI’s president, Bob Catalano, and his team join us, and we look forward to working together.”
