No rushing you out the door, no cookie-cutter circuit. Your Physical Therapist leads your care and keeps every session focused on you.
About Impact Physio
The clinic that treats the cause.
Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. We built this place to end them, with personalized care led by your Physical Therapist.
Our Story
This isn’t our story. It’s yours.
John Salva, PT, MPT, Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, Certified Running Gait Analyst Level 2, Certified Endurance Running Coach, Founder
John grew up in Blakely, Pennsylvania, and started working young: bagging ice at a gas station at 13, then clocking hours at Kmart all through high school and college. That same work ethic followed him onto the basketball court, where he played competitively growing up.
He got his first taste of healthcare at Scranton Rehabilitation while earning his Master's in Physical Therapy at the University of Scranton. Since then, he's consulted for the Hospital for Special Surgery on ACL injury prevention and teaches as an Adjunct Professor in the University of Scranton's PT Department.
John founded Impact Physio in 2013. His wife, Teresa, joined as Practice Manager in 2014, and the two have built the clinic around one idea: The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.
“Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life.”
What We Believe
Four things we’ll never compromise.
Cause first. Symptoms follow.
You’ve probably chased the pain itself before and never found why it started. We find the why, then the ache stops coming back.
Clear goals. Real progress.
Every plan comes with clear milestones, so you always know where you stand and how far you’ve come.
You’re not a protocol.
Your job, your body, your goals: that’s what your plan is built around, never pulled from a generic sheet.
The Difference
Not your typical clinic.
A typical clinic
- You explain your pain from scratch every visit
- You get rushed through a generic circuit
- The same pain creeps back in a few months
- No clear goals, just book again next week
Impact Physio
- Personalized care led by your Physical Therapist
- Unrushed sessions, every time
- A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything
- A plan with clear milestones, mapped out on day one
Feel the difference in your first visit.

This is our neighborhood too.
We treat South Abington Township: your neighbors, your teammates, your kids’ coaches. The mom who’s been pushing through it so nobody else has to worry? She’s probably on our schedule too. Recovery is a lot more personal when it’s local.
