TOWSON, Md., Aug. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Five Mid-Atlantic based physical therapy practices with more than 60 locations across five states and Washington, D.C. have combined and will now operate as Pivot Physical Therapy.

For over a decade, they have operated as: Professional SportsCare & Rehab, Maryland SportsCare & Rehab, Professional Physical Therapy & SportsCare, Southern Delaware Physical Therapy and Littlestown (Pa.) Physical Therapy & SportsCare.

“We chose the name Pivot Physical Therapy as it suggests movement and a turning point toward recovery and good health.
