An Evening with John DeBitetto

Alpine Physical Therapy & Sports Care, P.C.
Due to crazy weather predicted, this event will be rescheduled for a future date.

About John & His Business, Alpine Physical Therapy & Sports Care:

John graduated from Ithaca College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management. While pursuing a career in advertising in New York City, he received physical therapy for an old football injury which sparked his passion to pursue Physical Therapy as a profession. John soon left the corporate world and moved to Boston to attend P.T. School at Simmons University. After graduating, he opened a physical therapy practice in Hawthorne, New York, which he successfully operated for twelve years prior to moving to Vermont with his family in 2014. John worked for SVMC for one year and in another outpatient clinic in Manchester before opening Alpine Physical Therapy & Sports Care in Manchester Village in 2019.

John played NCAA football at Ithaca College and continues to enjoy competition by participating in mountain bike and road cycling races. When not at work or spending time with his family, he can be found riding the trails and streets of Southern Vermont in the milder months or making Telemark turns at Bromley or Stratton in the winter. In August 2018, John successfully completed the most challenging and prestigious mountain bike race in the world, the Leadville Trail 100-Mile Mountain Bike Race in Leadville, Colorado. He increased his training regimen and returned to Leadville in 2022 to beat his original time by 34 minutes. John is also a regular competitor in the annual Kare Andersen Telemark Sprint Classic Ski Race at Bromley.

At Alpine Physical Therapy, John is committed to providing high quality, one-on-one, manual, physical therapy and sports training to patients of all ages. His practice is located at 3800 Main Street in Manchester in a newly renovated facility. John’s greatly experienced, professional, and compassionate team of physical therapists and staff are there to meet your rehabilitation needs while providing holistic support in a very caring atmosphere.
