WE CARE BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND.
From my soccer days, I understood how badly an athlete wants to recover from injury and return to the playing field. I also wanted my patients to be treated like I would like to be treated if I went to a medical office—with respect, in a timely manner, and no cost surprises. We strive to deliver on all those fronts.
We provide a customized approach to the physical therapy model that is not based on treatment in mass and view each patient through a 1:1 lens—focusing on your needs, your recovery, and your success. Welcome to a personalized approach to rehabilitation.

OUR HISTORY
Roger's journey embodies the American Dream—a story of determination, resilience, and unyielding commitment to success.
Born and raised in Lebanon, Roger arrived in the United States as a college student in 1983 where he attended Bob Jones University. Soccer injuries changed his career path, and he wanted to help others achieve full recovery through Physical Therapy. He then went on to receive his Physical Therapy degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston in 1992.
Arriving in a new country, Roger faced the challenges of adapting to a different culture, language, a way of life, and no family to lean on. But rather than being deterred by the obstacles, he fell in love with the promises of what America offers—the chance to create something from nothing, that you are the main obstacle to your own success, and that with God’s help all things are possible.
Roger’s love for the USA grew over the years and he feels ever grateful for what this country has given him. That sense of gratitude as well as his Christian beliefs, is what drives him to give to others— especially the less fortunate, or in this case the injured.
Roger started working in the private sector in the Greenville area, but was soon disillusioned but the lack of compassion and care large practices provided to patients. He wanted to provide quality physical therapy that focused on the individual and not a protocol.
With little more than a vision and a relentless work ethic, he opened the doors to Accelerated Physical Therapy in May 2000—a business built from the ground up. His unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care, building trust with the physicians and his patients, fostering a positive and supportive environment helped Accelerated Physical Therapy grow into the practice it is today.
Roger didn’t just want to be a physical therapist; he wanted to affect lives positively—helping patients recover, regain independence, and live pain-free. His practice quickly became known for its superior level of care, compassionate, personalized approach to healing, and has earned a reputation for excellence in the community.
From humble beginnings to owning a successful business, Roger’s story is a testament to what this country offers. He came to the United States with nothing but a willingness to work hard, determination, and resilience, he has created a life he once only dreamed of. Today, Roger Bachour continues to inspire others, mentor the next generation of Physical Therapist and other entrepreneurs.
