Our Team

Rich Albanese, PT has 25+ years of experience providing physical therapy solutions for patients. He is a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (C.O.M.T.).  What makes this unique is that only about 5% of physical therapists are trained at high-level manual therapy techniques.  He takes pride in being able to offer these skills to his patients.

Rich is a native of New Brighton and graduated from New Brighton Area High School in 1988 and Daemen College in 1993 with a B.S. in Physical Therapy. His dream when leaving for college was to one day return to his hometown and open a private practice to serve his community. He has now been operating here for 17 years.

Rich resides in New Brighton with his wife, Mandy, and two sons Joe and Alex. He is an active member of the community where he is involved in youth sports programs, the New Brighton Boosters and Gridiron Clubs. Rich serves on the board of the 12 Loaves Community Kitchen and looks for ways that he can volunteer and help within his community. He is active in his church, Concord United Methodist Church in North Sewickley as a Sunday school teacher, usher and leader.

In his down time he enjoys golfing with his family and in his Friday night league and cooking.  

Rich’s goal is to continue to grow his physical therapy practice and help the community stay active and mobile through his work.
