Via Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers: FAIRFIELD, CT — Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers, Connecticut’s largest private practice physical therapy company, is expanding its operations for the first time into Fairfield County.

PTSMC is excited to announce the opening of its 23rd physical therapy clinic in Fairfield on Wednesday, Sept. 4. PTSMC will bring its innovative partnership model and unique brand of custom, patient-centered physical therapy treatment to the Fairfield community.

The new clinic, located at 2373 Black Rock Turnpike, is conveniently situated in the heart of the thriving Black Rock Turnpike business district.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to provide quality care in my hometown,” said Petrosino. “Fairfield is an amazing community that I’ve grown to love more and more as I’ve met neighbors and friends, participated in community service events and had my two children in the school system. I can’t wait to establish my practice here as well and give back to the community in the best way I know how – providing physical therapy that allows people to live pain free.”

A physical therapist for over 23 years, Petrosino received a bachelor of science in physical therapy from Louisiana State University and a master of health sciences in physical therapy from the University of Indianapolis. She also boasts an extensive repertoire of training and certifications that enables her to provide patients with a variety of treatment options.

She also has earned a certification in trigger point dry needling, an innovative treatment for muscle pain and other issues, and specializes in temporomandibular dysfunction, pain and dysfunction in the jaw and temporomandibular joints.
