August 20, 2015 // Franchising.com // WESTBOROUGH, Mass. - In an effort to provide additional professional support to the company’s franchisees, ActiveRx, an emerging franchise brand with a national network of Strengtherapy® Centers, has announced that it will be partnering with Rick Gawenda, PT, a major influencer in the physical therapy world.

Rick Gawenda is a licensed physical therapist with 24 years of experience and currently serves as the founder and President of Gawenda Seminars & Consulting, Inc. He graduated from Wayne State University in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy.

“ActiveRx provides adults 60 and older with life changing options that have never before existed in the physical therapy or wellness worlds,” said Gawenda. “The unique opportunity for rehab patients to regenerate core strength during physical therapy, and then to continue strengthening long after therapy has ended is a real differentiator in the therapy world.”

Gawenda’s role with the brand will be to provide paid consulting to both corporate and individual franchisees.

“We are excited for this partnership with such a respected leader of the physical therapy field,” said Paul Reilly, CEO of ActiveRx. “Rick Gawenda has a deep understanding of the type of services that we provide, and we look forward to gaining another level of expertise from him in order to continue aiding our seniors in their ability to live an active and independent lifestyle.”
