Our Founders' Clinical Journey
Palmetto Restorative Therapy grew out of years of seeing patients shortchanged by rushed, high volume systems. Our founders, Physical Therapist Assistant Andy Tyler and Physical Therapist Gretchen Tyler, MSPT, shared the same concern, patients were waiting, repeating unsupervised routines, and not reaching their potential. Together, they created a mobile outpatient clinic that brings equipment, hands-on care, and focused one-on-one treatment directly into the home, so every visit moves you closer to your goals.

Patients receive personalized programs, advanced therapeutic techniques, and dedicated attention designed to accelerate recovery, restore confidence, and support long‑term mobility.
Reimagining Patient-Centered Therapy
Palmetto Restorative Therapy was founded after years of witnessing the limitations of traditional Home Health and high‑volume outpatient clinics. Frustrated by rushed sessions, restricted equipment, and divided therapist attention, we created a model that prioritizes patient progress over profit. By bringing a fully equipped mobile clinic to each home, we ensure every patient receives expert care, hands‑on treatment, and the focused time needed to achieve meaningful recovery.

Andy Tyler - Physical therapist Assistant, Owner
Andy Tyler, PTA, brings more than ten years of experience in Home Health and outpatient clinics to your living room. He has seen how rushed, high-volume models leave patients waiting, repeating unsupervised exercises, and feeling discouraged, and he chose a different path. Andy believes progress comes from clear instruction, steady encouragement, and hands-on guidance that matches your exact home environment.
During your sessions, Andy focuses on practical goals, such as safer walking, smoother transfers, and confidence on stairs or uneven ground. He uses manual stretching, soft-tissue work, strengthening, and balance training to address pain, stiffness, and weakness in a direct, focused way. Every visit is one-on-one, so his full attention stays on your form, symptoms, and questions. Patients appreciate his calm, straightforward style and his commitment to helping them regain independence step by step.
Gretchen Tyler MSPT - Physical Therapist, Owner
Gretchen Tyler, MSPT, is a Physical Therapist with over twenty years of experience in both Home Health and outpatient settings, and she helped create this mobile practice to remove barriers that kept patients from reaching their full potential. She grew increasingly frustrated watching billing rules and crowded gyms limit what could be done for each person, so she designed a model where the therapist comes to you with the time, tools, and focus needed for meaningful change.
Gretchen blends manual therapy, range of motion work, and progressive strengthening with clear education about your condition and recovery path. She pays close attention to how you move in your own space, then tailors each plan so daily tasks feel safer and less painful. Patients describe her as thorough, thoughtful, and highly invested in their success, and she values building relationships that support steady, long-term improvement.
