As an active student athlete, Dr. Jacques Beauchamp had access to physical therapists year-round. During high school, he spent time working with a physical therapist through a work study program. “As soon as I got into the clinic and saw what physical therapy is and what a physical therapist does, it perfectly matched my vision for what I thought I should be doing,” shares Jacques.
In 2021, Jacques and his family moved to Evans and opened Quest Physical Therapy. “We chose to relocate to the Columbia County area due to the great school systems and because we thought it was best place for us to launch our new venture,” he says. “We enjoy being part of the community and active in our church.” Jacques is also excited to be a sponsor of the Drills B4 Thrills traveling Pickleball team, which is made up of players from here in the CSRA.
Jacques strives for quality results with every patient. Because Quest Physical Therapy is a locally owned small business, he knows that the best testimonies are happy, healthy patients. “I take a holistic approach to health and wellness and help people use their body to heal and return to normal functioning a living pain-free. Our goal is to help the patient try to avoid continued use of medications and avoid surgery," Jacques explains.
If a person is experiencing pain with movement, Quest Physical Therapy can help, even without a referral. “We have a great working relationship with local physicians, nurse practitioners, and other referrers who send us a lot of our patients, but we also have people who walk in off the street to be evaluated and seen, which is legal in the state of Georgia,” he says.
First, Jacques provides a short, free consultation to determine if someone is a good candidate for physical therapy. After that comes a more detailed evaluation. “We conduct a thorough evaluation to help identify what is contributing to the patient's complaints, whether that is orthopedic or neurological,” he explains. “Then we create an individualized treatment plan that addresses those impairments progressively over time. I say progressively because if you had a goal to run a 5k, you wouldn't be able to jump up off the couch and run a 5k. The body has a natural progression to do that and the same thing is true with physical therapy. We make strides every day, bigger strides every week, and then after a period of time, we're able to get the person to where they want to be.”
Dr. Beauchamp holds two board certifications through the American Physical Therapy Association: as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and a Sports Clinical Specialist. He is the only dual Board Certified Clinical Specialist in the CSRA. “It's something that I've always held in high esteem and I strive to try to be the best in my field,” he shares. “I am constantly learning new techniques to provide the best quality treatments for my patients.”
