The duo has worked together at Neshoba General Outpatient for the past 14 years.Since purchasing the PAC in November, Hardy and Comans, alongside their spouses, Jessie Hardy and Grant Comans, have been transforming 2,300 square feet of the 19,000-square-foot gym into a state-of-the-art physical and occupational therapy clinic.PAC Therapy will include a dedicated exercise gym equipped with therapy-specific machines, four private treatment rooms, and possibly a massage therapy space. Patients will also have access to the adjacent gym, complete with personalized programs and goals to support their rehabilitation journey.“We’ve got physical therapy, occupational therapy, orthopedics, neuro, and I’m dry-needling certified,” Kathryn Comans said. “We truly just want to help people and make them better.”Tyler Hardy said the decision to purchase the gym was driven by their shared vision of creating a therapy clinic that offers high-quality care without being hindered by growing insurance limitations. The clinic will accept all major insurance plans.“Too often, we’ve been forced to discharge patients prematurely due to insurance caps, despite their ongoing progress,” he said. “All we could offer at that point was a paper home exercise program and a resistance band, and months later, we’d often see them return in worse condition. We knew there had to be a better way.”Their mission is to provide one-on-one, comprehensive therapy services. When patients are ready for discharge, they’ll receive a customized transition plan to continue their progress within the gym.The team is also setting up a therapy-specific area inside the main gym with familiar rehabilitation equipment such as UBEs, recumbent bikes, pulleys, and other machines. This space will be reserved for former patients continuing their recovery.“On top of that, we offer certified personal training and nutritional support through our gym staff,” Tyler Hardy said.Personal trainers include PN1-NC, CPT Emmy Brantley Majure and CPT Lundy Brantley.“The biggest thing is the continuum of care,” Tyler Hardy said. “Being able to get somebody in to rehab their ailment—whether it be a shoulder, knee, foot, ankle—any diagnosis that we’ve seen and treated. You’ll get one-on-one, hands-on care through the clinic.”“I’m not a therapist—I’m a banker—but from the outside looking in, I’ve heard the stories and their passion,” Grant Comans said. “There is a passion behind it from both of them to make each patient as whole as they can be, and not just worry about a number or percentage—there’s an opportunity here that you can continue to get better and not regress.”The families collaborate closely. Grant Comans, manager at The Citizens Bank in Philadelphia, oversees the gym’s finances, while Jessie, a nurse practitioner at Ochsner Rush Health in Meridian, handles the ordering.“It’s a dream come true, being able to better yourself and your family and own something for yourself and say that it’s yours,” Kathryn Comans said.“We’ve got goals and a suggestion box in the gym,” Tyler Hardy added. “Not just on the therapy side—the gym members are just as important, too. As soon as we get enough suggestions, we will try to allocate, continue to add, and be better in some way or form—we want to continue to move forward.”Beyond the clinic, several upgrades have been made to the gym itself, including saunas, reupholstered equipment, new treadmill belts, and updated weights.Members can also enjoy healthy food options with homemade products, pre-ordered smoothies, grab-and-go protein shakes, and an expanded parking lot. The gym is now open seven days a week as well.“We want members to have the best experience possible,” Grant Comans said.PAC Therapy plans to host a grand opening and ribbon-cutting event once the early June date is finalized. The celebration will feature Boston butts, pulled pork sandwiches, an inside tour, door prizes, and a fun-filled day for the community.For more information, visit philadelphiaathleticclub.com, follow Philadelphia Athletic Club on Facebook, or call (601) 650-0075.</div></body>
