About Us

The difference starts from the moment you walk through our door…

Brian Hartz founded HARTZ Physical Therapy in 2000, starting with a single office in Lititz, PA. Even though he had graduated only a few years earlier, Brian was driven by a clear vision: to create a clinic guided by four core goals. His passion for patient-centered care, commitment to professional excellence, and dedication to building a supportive, community-focused environment laid the foundation for what HARTZ PT would become. From the very beginning, Brian aimed not just to treat patients, but to make a meaningful difference in their lives and in the communities he served.

Valued Employees

Our team is our greatest strength. At HARTZ PT, we’re committed to supporting each employee’s professional growth and personal well-being, so they can thrive both at work and at home.

Excellent Patient Care

With dedicated one-on-one care with the same PT team each visit, we blend hands-on therapy and customized exercises to help patients build strength and confidence. Education is at the heart of our approach, empowering patients and families to continue progress well beyond discharge.

Quality Customer Service

Exceptional Care with a Personal Touch: Our team is dedicated to creating a comfortable environment where every patient is welcomed with kindness and respect.

Community Service

Making a positive impact isn’t just encouraged—it’s part of who we are. By giving back, our employees help build a healthier, stronger community, which directly enriches the care we provide to every patient.

 

With a focus on these 4 main goals, Brian has built HARTZ PT to include 6 clinics in Lancaster County.  With a reputation for excellent patient care, we are grateful to have been recognized as Lancaster County’s Choice for physical rehabilitation for 25 years in a row through the Lancaster Newspaper’s Readers’ Choice Awards.

Our dedication to your experience is unwavering: you — and your recovery — are our first priority. We invite you to Experience the Difference with us!

Testimonials

"I was at other PT facilities (four!). Simply not comparable to Hartz, where the team that feels like family and I get full attention to my individual needs with the programs tailored to me and my specific needs. To Brian Hartz – Great Leadership!"

Dan, Lititz Office Patient

“I’ve had a herniated disc for 13 yrs and have seen quite a number of PTs. Hartz is by FAR Superior to any others in the area. They are patient, caring and they listen to what you have going on. Couldn’t ask for better. Keep up the awesome work!”

Andy, Lititz Office Patient

"I chose Hartz Physical Therapy because of its convenient location, but I have been very pleased with the quality of their treatment and their professionalism. Having had physical therapy at other venues previously, I am impressed by how personable the entire Hartz staff is to their clients. I have received phenomenal care through three rounds of physical therapy at HARTZ PT."
