Activecare Physical Therapy

About Us

The Full Story

Step into a space where healing meets precision, and every visit moves you closer to the life you want to live. Welcome to ActiveCare Physical Therapy—Erie’s most trusted destination for one-on-one, evidence-based care delivered with upbeat expertise and genuine compassion.

Founded in 2012 by husband-and-wife team G. Ehren Trost and Renee Trost, ActiveCare was born from a simple yet powerful belief: exceptional care is personal care. That’s why every session here is tailored, every technique intentional, and every patient seen by a fully licensed professional—never an aide or assistant.

From day one, we set out to do things differently. Our clinic quickly became the go-to referral for the Cleveland Clinic, a mark of clinical trust that reflects our consistent results. Hundreds of 5-star reviews and glowing physician recommendations tell the same story: patients feel heard, respected, and truly cared for.

 

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or navigating headaches, TMJ, or spinal issues, we bring the best of modern techniques together—like McKenzie Method spine care, dry needling, Graston, and ASTYM—to offer solutions where others fall short. We don’t just treat conditions—we help patients avoid unnecessary injections and surgeries and get back to doing what they love faster.

Our mission is simple: restore and elevate lives, one personalized plan at a time. Physical therapy doesn’t have to be cold or clinical. At ActiveCare, it’s encouraging, engaging, and even fun. You’ll leave each session not just progressing—you’ll feel celebrated.

We’re proud to be recognized as the #1 Physical Therapy Clinic in Pennsylvania—but the real reward is seeing our patients reach their goals. Because here, you’re not just a number on a chart. You’re family.

If you’re ready to feel better, move better, and live better—choose ActiveCare. Let’s begin your recovery the right way.
