History & Mission

TherapySouth was founded in July 2006 by Steve Foster, PT, LAT. His vision was that TherapySouth would be a therapist-owned practice, specializing in “hands-on care, close to a patient’s home or work”. All of our clinics maintain an informal atmosphere that helps patients feel at home in their surroundings. Having several locations allows patients to conveniently attend physical therapy two to three times per week to improve their daily functions. We know our patients’ names when they walk in the door of our clinics!

Clinical excellence is the foundation of our successful patient outcomes. Many of our therapists have advanced certification in orthopedic physical therapy, as well as other specialty areas including manual therapy, dry needling, after-surgery rehab, sports medicine, women’s health, and hand therapy.

Hundreds of physicians in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi trust TherapySouth to care for their patients each day. We work with physicians, families, employers and insurance companies to ensure the best care possible for every patient.
