Marathon has a new center for regenerative medicine with the grand opening of Florida Keys Therapy & Wellness Center’s new location at 6799 Overseas Highway on Feb. 27. Founded by Christy Minor, who formerly worked as an occupational therapist and hospital director of therapy services, the center was established in 2013 to provide rehabilitative therapy to seniors, adults and children. Today, the center specializes in Astym treatment – a non-invasive physical therapy treatment that regenerates healthy soft tissues – as well as cryotherapy and other services.
