History

​

Theraplay was founded on October 1, 2001 by Dr. Troy Factora. It has been 20 years since the founding and establishment of Theraplay which started in one small bedroom with a desktop computer, a two-drawer filing cabinet with a fax machine on top. Many who have joined Theraplay have now pursued other journeys professionally and personally. We have seen patients and clients from different walks of life.

 

In December 2004, Theraplay LLC opened its first outpatient clinic that served mostly the pediatric population. It was a struggle for three years making it work both financially and physically. Like many other journeys, it was filled with challenges and happiness.

 

Another crossroad in Theraplay’s journey was widespread chronic pain and spine problems plaguing their pediatric clients and families, who took care of their special needs family members. This was the force that drove Theraplay to expand in providing PT services for adult clients, which was the beginning of transformation to Orthopedic and Spine Center.

 

As Theraplay grew, Dr. Troy Factora expanded provision of services to adult clients and acquired two Doctoral degrees, one in Physical Therapy and another in Osteopathy. Balancing work and family is always a challenge for everybody–that is why Theraplay focused on working as a team to provide services to their clients and nurture a caring and supportive environment for their patients.

 

In 2015, a land on the west side of Bloomington was purchased. And on September 22, 2017, a glorious and fulfilling day, we moved to our new clinic that we could call home.
