Clinicians Susan Altemus, RN Maddie Bunch, RN, CDMSC Stacey Scineaux, RMA Mandy Smith, PT Administrators David Decker Nancy Neilson Rachel Schneider Lou Tenaglia	Mandy Smith, PT Director of Physical Therapy Mandy Smith PT worked for over 25 years as a physical therapist at The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR) where she and Dr. Clearman met many years ago. She has treated spinal cord, brain injury, stroke, and amputation patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has worked in TIRR’s polio clinic. Mandy joined Personal Physician Group LLP early in 2007 and particularly enjoys working with patients in their home environments where she can concentrate on follow-up care and continuity of treatment. She works with stroke and brain-injured patients and those who need neurologic and musculoskeletal therapies. Her philosophy of physical therapy is that mobility and increased ease of movement are the product of comfort and of time – that a patient who is trusting, mentally ready, and within his or her zone of comfort can accomplish much more than someone who is tense, anxious, and frightened of being hurt. Always seeking outlets for her own creativity and new techniques to benefit her patients, Mandy has completed extensive training in lymphatic massage therapy. She is an outdoors person who gardens, fishes, and goes kayaking. She doesn’t believe in formal exercise but in exercise through activity.
