Our Story
ProTailored Physical Therapy’s mission is to bring together skilled staff with varied backgrounds and specialties who resonate with the one-on-one treatment approach in order to provide professionally tailored, personal care for each patient’s specific needs. Through having a passion for what we do and compassion for those we serve, we create a nurturing, supportive environment where our patients not only heal but thrive.
ProTailored Physical Therapy was founded in 2015 by husband and wife team, Dr. Jon and Vanessa Evans. Dr. Evans earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, went on to complete a two-year orthopedic physical therapy residency, and gained an additional certification in vestibular rehabilitation from Emory University.
The Evans knew they wanted to travel before moving back home to Indiana, where they were born and raised, to start a family. After managing a physical therapy clinic in Atlanta for a large national chain, they decided to move overseas for two years to work and travel. While there, Dr. Evans was afforded the opportunity to treat professional athletes as well as work alongside physical therapists from New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Great Britain. During lunch breaks, he would teach them techniques from America, and in turn they would teach him techniques learned in their countries. This equipped him with treatment approaches from international medicine which he found valuable in treating patients who didn’t respond well to traditional physical therapy. After seeing firsthand the benefit of having multiple specialties and treatment styles in one setting, Dr. Evans and Vanessa knew they wanted to open a physical therapy clinic which offered varied styles and specialties so as a collective they would be able to offer multiple treatment approaches. Thus, ProTailored was formed.
There are various models for how physical therapy clinics run. Traditional clinics have a therapist overseeing several patients at a time while using the skills of an assistant or aid to help deliver care. The model which most aligns with the Evans philosophy, and which ProTailored uses, is a hands-on, manual based approach where the therapist is one-on-one with the patient, delivering the full plan of care from beginning to end.
