About Us

HealthWorks Rehab & Fitness was founded in 1979 in Morgantown, WV as Morgantown Physical Therapy Associates (MPTA) by John C. Spiker and Sam Kegerreis.  Sam moved on to new endeavors in 1980 and John persisted in his pursuit to provide quality therapy services to the surrounding communities.

MPTA grew in numbers over the next ten years which necessitated four location moves in the Morgantown area and the hiring of many more outstanding clinicians. Programs were founded upon a sports medicine approach to musculoskeletal injuries with emphasis on a functional return to activity as soon as possible. This concept has continued to be developed and remains as our treatment philosophy today. The foundation was laid.

Jack Brautigam joined the MPTA “team” as a partner in 1989. This was also the time that MPTA began providing inpatient physical therapy services located at Mon Health Medical Center. We continue to provide this service today.

The desire to serve the surrounding communities gave birth to our seven satellite offices; the first in Buckhannon, WV (1990), the second in Smithfield, PA (1992), the third in Fairmont, WV (2000), the fourth in Blacksville, WV (2005), the fifth in Cheat Lake, WV (2006), the sixth in Westover, WV (2016), and the newest clinic in Waynesburg, PA (2019).

MPTA encountered many changes through the years with unprecedented growth. In November of 1997 MPTA became HealthWorks Rehab & Fitness. 

Today, HealthWorks continues to be dedicated to the needs of our surrounding communities. With a cooperative spirit, we continually evaluate these needs and strive to fulfill them with the implementation of new programs.
