Physical Therapist – Vincera Institute
The Company
The Vincera Institute is the first medical specialty center dedicated to core medicine. It was founded in 2013 by Dr. William C. Meyers, who for more than 25 years has pioneered the research of treatment of core muscle injuries. Vincera, located in South Philadelphia’s Navy Yard, delivers health care in a new way, working together on diagnosis and treatment plans to get patients back to activity. Abdomen, hip or pelvic pain can often go under-diagnosed or undiagnosed because of the anatomical complexity of this region. The team of experts at Vincera has developed a treatment model that encourages a complete care approach integrating specialists and services. The Vincera Institute includes a physician’s clinic, ambulatory surgery center, physical therapy and imaging services.
