Savannah-based Spine & Sport — a physical and occupational therapy and personal training company — has made Inc. Magazine’s 500|5,000 list of fastest-growing companies in America for the fourth consecutive year.

The company was founded by Dr. Eric C. Bull and Dr. Jacques L. Beauchamp on Valentine’s Day 2004 in a 14-by-10-foot room in the back of a gym. Between April 2006 and April 2009, the company grew more than 600 percent. In 2009, Inc. ranked the company No. 357 on its list of fastest growing privately owned companies in America. 

“This award is a testament to the fact that small businesses can thrive in a less than desirable economy if they deliver a high-quality service or product,” Beauchamp said. “We’ve had to push harder to grow, but the fact that we’ve made the list four years running speaks to the quality of our staff and the care they provide our patients.”

Spine & Sport’s expansion has created more than 100 jobs in Savannah and surrounding communities, continuing through the addition of occupational therapy services and a new clinic that will serve the Pooler area in early 2013.

Spine & Sport also has locations in Richmond Hill, Hinesville, Effingham, Whitemarsh Island and Jacksonville.
