The Smith Clinic Celebrates 20 Years!

A Letter from Michael: Celebrating 20 Years!

A little over 20 years ago, after much time in prayer, Angie and I were led by the Spirit to open a physical therapy clinic that would operate differently than the "norm". We made the choice to honor God with our work and lives through a physical therapy clinic, and with the help of family and friends, we took a huge leap of faith and dove in...and the Smith Clinic was born!

When I stop and think about it, I honestly can't believe it's been 20 years since we opened our doors. We have truly been blessed with the best staff, patients and fitness members over the past 2 decades, and I am humbled we have been given the opportunity to make a difference in so many lives. I am equally as grateful for

the impact our patients, their families and fitness members have made in our lives as well.

As it is with life, we have seen many changes in 20 years.

We've seen patients come and go, babies born and friends/family pass away. We've expanded twice and moved once. We consider all of it one big blessing, and if it ended tomorrow (which we hope it doesn't), we would have no regrets!

THANK YOU for being a part of our journey! Words could never express how we feel about this opportunity God called us to be a part of, and as long as it is the Lord's will, we will continue our mission to serve you. So, here's to our future together as we strive to become people God calls us to be!

With gratitude,

Michael Smith

In an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19, The Smith Clinic for Physical Therapy is excited to announce we are now offering Telehealth PT to patients who would like to continue their rehabilitation but are unable OR choose not to attend physical therapy in person.

The use of this alternative treatment method gives our patients the ability to follow their prescribed physical therapy and exercise program, and maintaining their strength and mobility through a session conducted via a phone or video call with your therapist. While it is not meant to completely replace in-person, hands-on treatment sessions, it is a safe, secondary alternative and is now being covered by most insurance companies !

If you are interested in this service,

please call the clinic at 901-756-1650 today for more information!

Patient Feature: Earl Shipp

It is our delight to introduce you to a dear patient and friend, Earl Shipp. An on and off resident of the Mid-South since 1995, Earl recently came to The Smith Clinic with the need for rehabilitation on his foot.

An avid LSU football and baseball fan, Earl is originally from Louisianna and has been married to his wife, Lynn, for 48 years. With 2 kids and 6 grandchildren, Earl enjoys attending their activities, as well as being involved in his church.

When asked about his experience with physical therapy, Earl stated that, although it is sometimes hard to be patient, he is slowly gaining strength, which has made him look forward to each appointment. In regards to The Smith Clinic more specifically, Earl "really likes working with the therapists and has full confidence in their professional instruction." He further expressed, "The clinic is very well run, organized, top notch. I would easily recommend to anyone needing physical therapy. Angie and Michael should be very proud of themselves, their business and their employees/staff!"

It has been our pleasure to treat you, Earl, and we are thrilled to have you as a part of the Smith Clinic community!

Earl isn't letting Covid-19 delay his progress.

Sporting a mask, he is ready for PT!
