David K. Hoy, MS, PT

Facility Director/Physical Therapist

Dave has been treating the fine citizens of the Shamokin/Coal Township area for over 4 1/2 years as the Facility Director of Appalachian Physical Therapy, which is now doing business as PHOENIX Physical Therapy in a larger and better equipped facility. Dave is a lifetime resident of our area and currently lives in the Elysburg area with his wife and two sons.

"I am committed to providing my patients and the community with the most current, comprehensive, compassionate and efficient treatment possible. The patient is the crux of every program and the driving force in our practice. I attempt to hone and expand my clinical skills as much as possible to better serve the fine people of our community."

"The patient is the reason that we are here; we are committed to providing the most compassionate, comprehensive and appropriate treatment possible. The patient is the most important piece of the rehabilitation puzzle. Their input, concerns and success are the main focus of our practice. Patient education is paramount in providing continued success after the formal rehabilitation process has ended, enabling the patient to "self-treat" any further setbacks, as well as maintain their maximum functional level."

“Physical therapy is a critical component to achieving optimal health and wellness. A team approach is of utmost importance to the patient-therapist relationship, as is the patient’s desire to heal. My compassion to change lives allows me to be committed to providing the knowledge and tools to help patients through their recovery process. I will incorporate proven evidence-based therapy techniques in order to heal, prevent further injury and promote pain-free lives.”

PATIENT CARE PHILOSOPHY...

“Therapeutic recovery should begin with trust and mutual respect between the patient and therapist, as well as good communication of the healing process. Each patient’s rehab should be individualized for the most efficient return to maximal health. A hands-on approach allows for close monitoring of patient progress in order to promote optimal recovery. The patient deserves the utmost care and respect, for they are the most essential component of physical therapy .”
