As the new fire chief of the Wausau Fire Department, I am delighted to express my appreciation for our partnership with Advanced Physical Therapy and Tracy Tauferner. This collaboration has brought tremendous benefits to our department, particularly in improving the physical health and overall happiness of our employees. One of the most significant outcomes has been the reduction in time off due to injuries, which is crucial for maintaining our operational readiness.
Personally, I have experienced the positive impact of their services firsthand. When I struggled with a pinched sciatic nerve, Advanced Physical Therapy acted swiftly. They promptly arranged for me to see a specialist, enabling me to return to work much sooner than if I had waited for a traditional doctor's appointment. Their commitment to our department's well-being and their daily display of professionalism have been invaluable.
I am grateful for their dedicated support and look forward to continuing our partnership to ensure the ongoing health and safety of our firefighting team.

You’ll see that downward trajectory of injuries and have better training and equipment in place to head those injuries off. Our team is stronger overall because of Advanced Physical Therapy.”
