About Us
Cheryl Kosta founded NLPT in 1987 following a successful fifteen year career in academic and clinical physical therapy. She was joined in the practice by Michael Choate in 1992 and Steve Pierson in 1993. The three then formed their partnership in 1996. Kyle Lesko joined the practice in 1996 and became a partner in 2009. The practice has grown to include four additional locations in order to better serve the community.
North Lake has proudly maintained its independent status as a therapist-owned practice. Our only obligation is to our patients. This means that the patient will see their therapist at every visit. Furthermore, we are not encumbered by corporate imposed quotas or protocols. We are able to treat patients for the best obtainable outcomes.

Our dedicated staff is comprised of highly trained physical therapists and a dedicated support team. Our therapists are experienced in treating patients of all ages and abilities. We work extensively with local high schools, collegiate and professional teams and athletes. However, no matter who the patient may be, we strive to provide the highest level of care to help the patient achieve their goals.
