Off The Block Physical Therapy Honored as Small Business of the Year

The Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce hosted its 77th Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration on March 13 at Tri-County Technical College-Easley Campus. Sponsored by Truliant Federal Credit Union, the event honored several businesses and individuals for their leadership and community service. Among those awards, Off The Block Physical Therapy was honored as the 2025 Small Business of the Year, which recognizes a small business with a special entrepreneurial spirit, a unique marketing approach, or a special focus on the customer that results in a more consistent space. Dr. Antonia Counts founded Off The Block Performance Physical Therapy with a vision to provide high-quality, athlete-focused care outside the constraints of insurance. She started as a mobile physical therapist, traveling from house to house and gym to gym to meet patients where they were. Over time, she secured her first office inside a CrossFit gym, allowing her to establish a more consistent treatment space. As demand grew, Off The Block expanded with its first standalone clinic in Central, SC at 1276 18 Mile Road which then followed by a second location in Easley at the newly renovated Southern Weaving Mill (210 Fern Street, Suite K). Since its inception, Off The Block PT has been proud to serve Pickens County, helping athletes and active individuals stay strong, recover faster, and perform at their best. All while running a thriving business, Dr. Counts also serves as a business advisor for PTBiz, guiding other physical therapy professionals in growing their practices. She is in the current Leadership Pickens County Class where she serves as the Project manager, making history as the class to raise the highest funds in history. She is married to Cole Counts, and together they have two dogs and are excitedly expecting their first child in August. Please join Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce in honoring Off The Block Physical Therapy as the 2025 Small Business of the Year.
