CORA Health Services Inc, doing business as CORA Physical Therapy, has expanded its footprint in southern Wisconsin with the acquisition of Alliant Physical Therapy Group, a seven-clinic operation in Milwaukee and Kenosha.

CORA also recently broadened its presence in Georgia with the addition of Can Do Physical Therapy in Jesup and in North Carolina with Keck Physical Therapy in Hendersonville.

Alliant was founded in 2009 by Chad Novasic, with clinics in Milwaukee, Shorewood, Hales Corner, Racine, Salem, and Kenosha. The clinic offers general orthopedic physical therapy, with specialties in sports medicine, aquatic therapy, pelvic health and pain management. The acquisition of the Alliant clinics brings the total count in Wisconsin to 17.

Barry Arem, PT, started Can Do in 2002 as reportedly the first outpatient physical therapy clinic in Jesup, GA. The clinic offers general orthopedic physical therapy, with specialties in sports medicine, aquatic therapy, pelvic health and pain management. With the addition of Can Do, CORA now operates 11 clinics in coastal Georgia.

Keck PT was founded in 2003 by Robert Keck, PT, MPT. The clinic offers general physical therapy, orthopedic, sports and cardiac rehabilitation, strength training and conditioning, and treatment for vertigo and balance disorders, among other specialties. The Keck acquisition brings the North Carolina total to 16 CORA clinics statewide.

“We are delighted to welcome these new companies to the CORA team, whose top quality clinics and therapists will expand our geographic reach and augment our existing services. Our growth through these new partnerships enable us to provide clinically excellent services to even more people within the communities we serve.”

– Dennis Smith, CEO and President of CORA Physical Therapy
