Mobility Plus was founded in June 2011 by Craig Tarantino, PT, MS, who envisioned a high quality, community-based practice local residents could rely on for their physical therapy needs.
It began at 193 Rockland Street, Hanover, in 1,680 square feet, with just Craig and Lisa Brooks. Positive feedback spread through the community, and by year three Craig had the opportunity to buy the original Hanover Post Office at 190 Rockland Street and convert the 3,500 square foot space into a state-of-the-art clinic.
Today the clinic has several staff, including support personnel and an additional licensed physical therapist, and continues to earn patient accolades while staying involved in public education and community events.
