Our story
Get Well…Stay Well. Serving North Central Kansas for decades.
Where we come from
For decades, Mathis Physical Therapy has been the hometown choice for Manhattan, Junction City, Herington, and the communities around them. Our slogan says it all: Get Well…Stay Well. We don’t just treat what hurts, we help you keep it from coming back.
We call our approach concierge care, and it’s simple: you work with a licensed physical therapist who knows you, your goals, and your life here. That includes a dedicated pelvic rehabilitation clinic in Manhattan, specialized care you’d normally drive hours for.
The clinician-led difference
Every leader at our practice, from clinic director to CEO, is a licensed physical therapist. Every clinical decision is made by someone who has treated patients.
“Highest-quality people providing the highest, the most evidence-based medicine that produces the best outcomes and creates the best value.”
Aaron Kraai, PT, DPT, Founder & CEO, Doctors of Physical Therapy
Built from zero, built for patients
Founder Aaron Kraai started folding towels at a physical therapy clinic at age 14. He opened the first Doctors of Physical Therapy clinic in 2005 and built the company from nothing, with one goal: a PT organization where clinicians lead, patients win, and excellence is non-negotiable.
Today that network spans clinician-led clinics nationwide. Mathis Physical Therapy is proud to be part of it, same trusted local team, now backed by a national standard of care.
