Founded in 1978, the private physical therapy practice was created by physical therapist Maletta Pfeiffer. Ms. Pfeiffer began the practice with $3,000 in a humble one-room rental within the offices of a Torrington doctor for the first five years of her business. Originally from Sweden, she had spent time in New York and finally relocated to the Litchfield County area. She soon recognized a need for an outpatient physical therapy office. Working 60 hours a week, taking care of patients, while her husband oversaw the company's books, Ms. Pfeiffer applied her grit and determination to open Maletta Pfeiffer & Associates, Torrington's first physical therapy center.

"Maletta Pfeiffer's beginnings were humble," recalled Albanese, "in that she knew what it took to create and maintain a successful business. She didn't have a lot of money, or space, but she had the resolve and fortitude to create a long-range caring service for the community. While the beginning office accommodations were stark, Ms. Pfeiffer worked hard for every client, and patient. Through a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, she created something resilient, a hallmark to the area she served. She was dedicated to the continual well being of everyone who entered her practice. To this day, we continue her legacy by exemplifying a caring, devoted practice, making a difference in people's lives."

Today the well-trained and educated staff of 16 physical therapists collectively offers an award-winning level of services. Combined, the professional staff provides countless years of professional experience, offering one of the most advanced and experienced health provider groups in the Torrington region. Boulli commented, "The practice also now has several therapists trained in the Graston Technique® and in dry needling. Plus a certified therapist in the McKenzie Method®, which is a distinctive treatment method for neck and back pain."
