Local Business Mapleton’s first physical therapy office opening Two business partners are bringing physical therapy to Mapleton for the first time this May. Dr. David Hunt and Dr. Robert Snow, physical therapists and co-owners of Synergy Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, will open their third location on May 1 in the Harvest Park development just west of Highway 89. They currently operate two locations in Spanish Fork. “There is no physical therapy in Mapleton, and it is a growing community where people are used to commuting out of it for services,” Dr. Hunt said. “We saw an opportunity there in Harvest Park to reach out to them.” Synergy’s new location is currently under construction. The new 1,500-square-foot building is located next to Maple Mountain Pharmacy and Utah Valley Pediatrics. It seems to be a central location for Mapleton, at least on Highway 89,” Dr. Snow said. “We wanted to make it easy for people to get to us.” Synergy Physical Therapy assists patients of all ages ranging from those who have had major surgery to car accident victims and those with overuse or sports injuries, sprains and strains. A physician’s referral is not required to utilize their services, and they accept most insurance plans. “Physical therapy helps people recover safely and effectively,” Dr. Hunt said. “We’re the experts that can take you by the hand and help you do things that reduce your pain, improve your motion and get you stronger.” Dr. Hunt and Dr. Snow are both board-certified orthopedic clinical specialists, the highest board certification available for orthopedic physical therapy. This allows them to accurately diagnose and treat problems that arise in the muscles, joints and bones. “Because of our advanced training, we’re able to more quickly and more effectively help you solve your problem,” Dr. Hunt said. They are also both local residents, with Dr. Hunt calling Springville home and Dr. Snow living in Mapleton.
