Agility Health, a leading national provider of physical
rehabilitation and software services that benefit patients,
healthcare providers and employers, today announced the latest
addition to its multi-state group of outpatient clinics.
Agility Health’s newest facility, located in Plainwell,

presence to 23 owned or partnered facilities and follows the recent
addition of 11 locations in Texas, Missouri, Arizona and
Kentucky.
Agility Health’s Plainwell clinic provides a full array of
standard and specialty physical therapy services, including
treatment for low back and spinal dysfunction, headache management,
vestibular rehabilitation, post-operative and industrial
rehabilitation, and maintenance and fitness programs following
discharge from prior therapy treatment. The Plainwell team,
led by Eric Manrose, PT – who is certified as a clinical
specialist in orthopaedic physical therapy (OCS) by the American
Board of Physical Therapy Specialties and an adjunct professor for
manual therapy labs at Grand Valley State University – also
has specific expertise in sports performance training and
rehabilitation. Manrose received his doctorate in physical
therapy and completed his orthopedic manual physical therapy
residency training at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich.
A centerpiece of the new clinic is an innovative
stabilization-exercise system known as Redcord®.
Originally developed in Norway by an ex-gymnast and believed
to be the first installation of its kind in West Michigan, Redcord
consists of an adjustable treatment table and an elaborate,
ceiling-suspended array of bright-red bungees, harnesses and slings
that can enable exercise in virtually any position. Using
this suspension technique, Agility Health’s therapists can
“unweight” patients of all ages and fitness levels,
