A graduate of Rockhurst University with a BS in Physical Therapy Sciences, Peggy founded PEG Therapists originally as Physical Enhancement Group in 1991 As a physical therapist herself with an emphasis on outpatient rehabilitation, Peggy created PEG Therapists to give other therapy professionals opportunities to work in a variety of stimulating clinical settings, while allowing them as much job flexibility as possible.
