Focus was founded by 2 local residents of Berlin who have numerous years of experience in the outpatient therapy setting.  Founders Marcus Bacon and Steve DeFrancesco both have their Degrees in Physical Therapy and are active members of the American Physical Therapy Association.  They began their careers in a large corporate setting, where they gained experience and clinical knowledge that they are now looking to bring to a patient focused clinic where they can provide one on one care and attention to their clients.
Focus not only provides sports medicine to athletes, but it provides a wide variety of services from orthopedic care, pediatrics, orthotic fitting and prescription, women’s health and geriatric care. 

Marcus Bacon is originally from Orange, Massachusetts and now resides in Kensington, CT..  He graduated from Springfield College in 2002 with a Masters of Science degree in Physical Therapy.  After graduation, he joined a large outpatient corporation and held several positions, including center manager, over his 6-year employment.  With specialization in advanced orthopedic injuries, Marcus decided to leave the corporate world and open his own physical therapy clinic.  His vision focused on quality of care and improving functional needs.
