STERLING – Sauk Valley Physical Therapy likely will open by the end of this month at 4204 E. Lincolnway, Suite D, in the new Sterling Commons shopping center.

The clinic, Byron-based Orthopedic and Sports Therapy Institute’s seventh, will be the first to open in the new building, which is intended to house up to four businesses, said Meghan Willinski, director of marketing.

Physical therapist Donnie Early, 31, of Grand Detour, will provide pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation. The clinic will offer work injury prevention programs to businesses, and treat those who have suffered workplace injuries.
