Coulter Physical Therapy was founded in Russellville, AR, in 1989 by Seth Coulter, PT, to meet the physical therapy needs of Russellville, AR, and the surrounding area. Seth is a native Arkansan born in Crossett, AR. In 1997, Phil Howard, PT, joined the staff. Besides being a physical therapist, Phil is a certified weight trainer. Coulter Physical Therapy provides general, orthopedic, sports and industrial physical therapy with the goal of returning people to their normal functional levels and their normal lives. Coulter Physical Therapy has brought many ingenuitive treatments and preventions to the community during the last decade. They were the first to provide an underwater treadmill to the area to allow patients to exercise without stressing their joints. They also were one of the first in the state to bring the STS to treat chronic pain such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Coulter PT has now brought to the state an early detection/wellness program to help detect potentials for osteoporesis, obesity, heart disease and skin damage. Early detection is the best aide in early treatment. Nicole Young was added to the staff in 2002 as the wellness coordinator and over sees the wellness programs discusses on these pages.
