Since 1998, Kathy McColumn Taylor, PT, DPT has provided physical therapy services to Jackson metro area residents. In 2012, she assembled an impressive team of highly skilled professionals and opened her health care facility.

McColumn Physical Therapy (MPT) is located at 4665 US Highway 80W in Jackson. 

MPT provides a comprehensive range of physical therapy services, including but not limited to orthopedic related problems, post surgical care, joint replacement therapy, neck and back rehabilitation, work injury rehabilitation, and sports medicine. It also offers manual therapy, joint mobilization, and functional capacity evaluations. 

Dr. McColumn Taylor is an alum of Jackson State University, receiving a BS in Biology in 1987. She earned a BS in Physical Therapy from Florida A&M University, and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Alabama State University.

When asked why she does this work, Dr. McColumn Taylor explained: “I love doing this work. I want to make certain everyone can obtain quality health care. We provide an atmosphere of healing, help patients manage pain, and obtain results by using different techniques.”

Although owning and operating her health care facility keeps her busy, Dr. McColumn Taylor finds time to mentor those considering a health care career. 

It is not surprising that the primary sources of MPT’s patients are referrals and repeat customers. MPT is unique in many ways. Upon entering the front door of the facility, there is a warm, welcoming feeling. Delightful conversations among patients and staff fill the space. Patients can be heard laughing while completing strenuous exercises designed to help repair their ailing bodies. And, yes, during football season JSU games are a frequent topic of lively discussions.
