How Wyoming SBDC Helped Lori Swanton to Launch Ability Physical Therapy

Cody, WY. One year after opening its doors, Ability Physical Therapy is already improving the lives of community members and surpassing business expectations. Ability Physical Therapy networks with a variety of health care practitioners to provide holistic, integrated health-care support to its patients.

Getting started, Lori Swanton knew a lot about physical therapy, but not much about business. So she turned to the Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network to obtain practical start-up advice, help with logo design and training on social media strategies.

“It really helped me set up things appropriately, to find the right processes,” she said. “When do I bring on an accountant? What about signage? Bruce helped me decide if and when I needed to make things happen.”

Since opening its doors, Ability Physical Therapy has been able to more than meet cash flow expectations, which Lori credits in large part to help from the Wyoming SBDC Network and its northwest regional director Bruce Morse.
