What you need to know

  • NovaCare Rehabilitation has opened a new outpatient clinic in Crescent Springs, relocating from its former Crestview Hills location to accommodate a growing patient population.
  • The clinic, located off Buttermilk Pike, offers services including orthopedic care, pelvic health physical therapy, vestibular rehab, ReVital Cancer Rehab, and sports injury treatment.
  • Local leaders and community partners joined NovaCare staff for a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the clinic’s opening in the Crescent Springs community.

Crescent Springs is now home to Northern Kentucky’s newest NovaCare rehabilitation outpatient clinic, following the healthcare company’s closure of its Crestview Hills office in the fall of 2025.

NovaCare Rehabilitation is a nationwide network of outpatient physical therapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation clinics. The clinics are primarily used for physical and occupational therapy, sports injury rehabilitation, post-surgical rehabilitation and work-related injury treatment.

The Crescent Springs clinic is located in a shopping center off Buttermilk Pike, next to the Good Spirits Wine & Tobacco outlet.

Representatives from the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and the Crescent Springs Villa Hills Fire Department joined NovaCare Crescent Springs employees to celebrate the clinic’s opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Jan. 14.

Drew Schultz, business development manager at NovaCare, told LINK nky that Crescent Springs was a prime location because of its accessibility off Interstate 75.

“I think where the location is–we’re right off Buttermilk Pike–high-profile location, a little more intimate setting in the community. It’s a great community to be part of,” he said. “I think Crescent Springs has a diverse population of aging people and also a younger population; it complements what we do here very well.”

The clinic offers pelvic health physical therapy, cancer rehabilitation through NovaCare’s ReVital Cancer Rehab program, vestibular rehab, and orthopedic care, in addition to treating athletes and walk-in injury concerns.

“We treat a lot of athletes, a lot of folks, and we do one of the benefits we do see a lot of folks just coming in up the street, and just say, ‘hey, I’ve got a nagging injury – what do we do?’ We’ve got a lot of seasoned experts who’ve seen a lot of surgeries,” Schultz said.

NovaCare Manager Braden Hurst explained that the clinic near Thomas More University in Crestview Hills closed because of increased patient volume, necessitating an upgrade to a larger facility. The Crestview Hills clinic closed in late September, with the new Crescent Springs clinic opening in early October.

“This new location just moved from our Crestview Hills center here to Crescent Springs and we relocated to a bigger space to accommodate a growing patient population,” he said.

There are three other NovaCare clinics in Northern Kentucky: Florence, Highland Heights, and Hebron. As a whole, Greater Cincinnati is home to over 30 NovaCare clinics.
