It’s been one year since a devastating fire that destroyed the Chatham Physiotherapy Clinic.

Managing partner and physiotherapist John Spirou says it’s been a whirlwind of a year as the business rebuilt.

“November 11, 2016 is when the fire caught at our old clinic, and it was just devastating, going through a loss like that was really challenging for us,” Spirou says. “The year has been very tumultuous, but it has resulted in this great outcome, which is a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility.”

The new 3000 square foot clinic is located in the former Wool Shop at the corner of St Clair and Emma Street.

The clinic offers specialized treatment programs and individualized care plans for post-surgical, chronic pain, arthritis, sports medicine, back and neck pain patients, and is is one of the few locations in the region to accept OHIP coverage.
