Novant Health recently opened a new outpatient physical therapy location in Calabash. The office is at 9970 Beach Drive SW, Suite 1.

The Calabash office is Novant Health’s second outpatient physical therapy location.

“Our therapists evaluate a patient’s condition, identify functional limitations and establish a therapeutic plan of care to meet that patient’s goals. Our team also focuses on ways to prevent future injuries or falls,” Sheila Priestly, supervisor of rehabilitation services, said in a news release.

Novant Health’s new location in Calabash will be staffed by physical therapist Dan Woeckel.

Woeckel received his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb; his bachelor’s degree in physical therapy from Chicago Medical School in North Chicago, Illinois; and his master’s degree in business administration with a focus on health services management from Keller Graduate School of Management in Oak Brook, Illinois.

Novant Health offers physical therapy on an inpatient basis at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center and offers outpatient services in Shallotte and now Calabash.
