History

Established in 1982.

Proaxis Therapy is one of America’s most accomplished and innovative physical therapy leaders due to the passionate drive of our co-​founders, Topper Hagerman and John Atkins, over the past 30 years.

From our roots as a sports medicine team in the 1982 Nation’s Cup and the 1984 Olympics, our approach to rehab and conditioning quickly became the standard of excellence within the halls of renowned orthopedic specialty hospitals.

Physical Therapy is more than treating the injury. Our team treats the athlete in every patient. We search for ways to inspire each patient to achieve his or her own gold medal. Along the way, we forge deep relationships with physicians, hospitals and communities to move healthcare in exciting new directions.
