At the heart of the Youngsville location is Thomas LaBorde, a Lafayette native who has been a part of the family business for over a decade. He and his wife, Brianne, have been married for nearly ten years and are raising three beautiful children, William (5), Elliott (3), and Camille (18 months). When he's not helping patients, you can find him on the golf course or active in his church, giving back to the community.

LaBorde Therapy Center has always been a part of Thomas’s life. His mother, Claudia, is a Certified Hand Therapist who has been serving the community for years. While earning his accounting degree at LSU, Thomas had a conversation with his mother that led him to join the family business. With nearly 13 years in the field, Thomas has led the Laborde Therapy Center team in helping people regain mobility and live pain-free.

In an industry where long wait times and impersonal care are common, LaBorde Therapy Center prioritizes efficiency and respect for your time. “We have a strict no-wait policy. Outside of your first appointment, we guarantee you will be seen on time, every time,” Thomas explains. “This helps patients heal faster and get back to their daily lives.”

Beyond efficiency, LaBorde Therapy Center emphasizes education and long-term wellness. Their approach is not just about treating pain but also about teaching patients how to prevent it. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, joint issues, or recovering from surgery, their team provides the tools for long-term health.

One common misconception about physical therapy is that a physician’s referral is required before seeking treatment. While some insurance providers may require it, LaBorde Therapy Center offers free assessments, allowing patients to explore their options without commitment.

“Many people assume they just have to live with pain, but that’s simply not true,” Thomas says. “From back pain, which affects 40% of Americans, to issues with ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, and hands, we can help.”

LaBorde Therapy Center stands by its commitment to patient satisfaction. If a patient ever feels their time was wasted or their treatment wasn’t effective, the team will do whatever it takes to make it right—whether adjusting the treatment plan, offering a refund, or referring the patient to another trusted provider.

“Your time is valuable, and so is your health. If we don’t meet your expectations, we will do everything in our power to make it right,” Thomas assures.

Beyond therapy, LaBorde Therapy Center is deeply involved in the Acadiana community. Their team supports local sports programs, including WCA, Teurlings, and STM golf teams, and many staff members actively serve in local churches and nonprofit organizations.

With a brand-new state-of-the-art facility right here in Sugar Mill Pond, LaBorde Therapy Center is ready to help more residents get back to pain-free living. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or looking to improve mobility, their experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way.

“When I first started therapy, I never thought I would get full use back in my left hand. I progressively started getting the use of my hand back. All the therapists and techs were awesome, understanding, caring, considerate, and genuinely concerned about how you were doing and improving. I actually hated to see my time there come to an end. I miss working with them. I am in the Acadiana Veterans Honor Guard and wanted so much to be able to shoot the rifle at ceremonies. Up until about the end I could not, then Sydney really worked hard on massaging out a big lump on the arm, and I about passed out. I am no wimp, she was able to get it out and now I am able to turn my hand enough to hold that rifle. I am truly grateful for all the staff's ability to help me through one of the roughest times in my life. I highly recommend LaBorde Therapy Center to anybody I know. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.” - Shawn L. Howren (US Navy Retired)
