As owners of Agapé Physical Therapy and Athletic Training and Advantage Sports Performance, Frank and Esther Nowak are extremely grateful for the way our communities have embraced our service. Whether in the schools we serve with athletic training and Advantage Sports Performance, or in our facilities with the physical therapy approach we use, our towns have truly blessed our company with tremendous support and encouragement.
To demonstrate our gratitude, we embarked on a mission to serve the elderly in each of the senior centers of the towns in which we are located by providing free exercise classes. These classes continue to grow and provide an excellent way for our seniors to exercise with professional supervision.
In addition to the senior centers, Agapé provides ergonomic seminars, back care and proper lifting instructions, and fitness and conditioning consultation, all free of charge, to our town employees.
For our schools, free fitness consultations, injury prevention screenings, and Advantage Sports Performance evaluations are provided. In order to educate the many students who are inquisitive about our profession, we are available for Career Days and shadowing opportunities.
Agapé Physical Therapy and Advantage Sports Performance have sponsored and supported many other aspects of our communities including the following: the Brockport Canimals on Parade and Cool Kids Day Block Party, two scholarships at SUNY Brockport for Athletic Training majors, supported various high school sports clubs through advertisements in programs and brochures, participating in numerous benefit golf tournaments and more!
