About Us

A Defiance tradition
in healing and recovery.

For over 15 years, Defiance Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine has been the trusted name in rehabilitation across Northwest Ohio. We started with a simple belief: that every person deserves a therapist who actually has time to listen.

We're not a factory. You won't be handed off to an assistant after a 15-minute assessment and told to go home with a handout. Here, you see the same therapist every session, your plan evolves with your progress, and your recovery is the only metric that matters.

Located on East 2nd Street in the heart of Defiance, we serve patients from throughout the county and beyond — people who want care that feels personal, professional, and genuinely effective.

"I was skeptical about physical therapy after two previous unsuccessful attempts. The team at Defiance Physical Therapy actually listened, took the time to explain what was wrong, and gave me a plan that worked."
