New Physical Therapy Clinic Helps Local Residents Reach Their Peak
Atlas Peak Physical Therapy, a new clinic in Pleasantville, opened its doors in August to help residents struggling with pain, weakness or post-surgery recovery. Clinic co-founder Dr. Niko Athanasatos has treated sports injuries, cancer patients and everyday ailments for nearly eight years.
He and Beata Mione, Atlas Peak’s co-founder and administrator, both had serious health issues of their own that required surgery. Physical therapy played a key role in their return to normalcy, which inspired them to open a practice to help others in Westchester.
