ACCESS Physical Therapy & Wellness

Our mission is to help you move better, feel better, and live better! Experience our patient-focused approach and exceptional care today.

It all started in 2002. Christopher and Stephen Albanese and their wives, Janet and Shannon, were working as physical therapists. Chris was employed as a clinic director in a large corporate organization. Steve worked for a small therapist-owned practice. Shannon and Janet both worked in hospital out-patient clinics. Having been born and raised in Orange County, NY, they saw the need for a quality physical therapy practice in their area and started working on a business plan to open up their own.

Their plan came to fruition in 2003 with the opening of their first clinic in Montgomery, NY. With their own practice, the Albaneses began developing what would become Access’s culture, and applied their principles of putting the patients first to their new business. Their method proved successful, and a year later they started looking into opening a second location. In 2005, they opened their second clinic in Port Jervis, NY.

ACCESS PT is proud to be part of Confluent Health, a leading national provider of physical therapy and musculoskeletal health services committed to evidence-based care, innovative treatment, and personalized recovery plans that help patients move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.
