A physical therapy company has opened a new location in downtown Oxford.

Summit Physical Therapy opened their doors last month, at 72 S. Washington, Suite 106.

The company will host a ribbon cutting ceremony on September 22 starting at 4:30 p.m. to make the opening official. Hor d’oeuvres and wine will be served during the celebration.

Summit Physical Therapy is the private practice of owner and physical therapist Sarah Giroux, of Oxford.

Giroux said she’s looking forward to helping people in the place that has become her home since she moved to Oxford with her husband Steve in 2011. Today, they reside in Oxford with their children Megan, 3 years old, and Christopher, 17 months old.

“I wanted to create a clinic where patients feel welcomed, encouraged, relaxed and motivated,” explained Giroux. “My goal is to always strive to help patients reach their own personal goals for recovery.”

Giroux said she works with people of all ages who are experiencing varieties of injuries and maladies. Some of these include chronic and acute pain, women’s health, pediatrics, pre and post-operative care, sports injuries and other ailments.

“Here, we have hands-on treatment (and) one-on-one personalized care. It’s always based on what the patients needs are,” Giroux added.

Since graduating with a doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Michigan in 2007, Giroux has practiced her craft at a few different physical therapy clinics over the past eight years, including HealthQuest Physical Therapy in Oxford and Accelerated Physical Therapy in Bloomfield Hills.

Now she says she hopes to use her experience to continue helping people while forging new bonds.

Summit Physical Therapy is in contract with most major insurance providers, which makes the process of getting set up for therapy fairly pain-free.
