Acquisition of Babin Physical Therapy will bring Cypress into Jefferson for the first time

Kenner, LA – Cypress Physical Therapy will open its sixth location in Louisiana in September 2025 in Kenner following a recent opening in Gonzales. Kenner will make the seventh location, including one in Orange, Texas, for the growing physical therapy provider with plans for expansion across the Gulf Coast. The Kenner location will feature the same modern, state-of-the-art look and feel Cypress patients have come to expect with a large open gym space, private treatment rooms and an open reception style creating a welcoming environment as soon as a patient walks through the doors. 

Mike Babin opened Babin Physical Therapy in 1994 and expanded his clinic twice over the years to provide therapy services to the growing Kenner and Jefferson communities. As Babin considered retiring, he approached Cypress in 2024 about acquiring his practice. Babin’s reputation of providing quality care to his patients along with his clinic’s location in a major new market allowed the acquisition to be formalized earlier this year. Over the coming weeks, Babin’s clinic will be transformed to look and feel like a Cypress clinic with formal operations being turned over August 31st. 

Cypress in Kenner will be owned by current partner, Patrick Hennessey, who also operates Cypress’ location in Luling which opened in 2023. Patrick obtained his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at LSU Health and Science Center New Orleans in 2016 and his bachelor's degree at Louisiana State University in 2013, where he studied Kinesiology with a focus in Human Movement. He is certified in dry needling through American Academy of Manipulative Therapy as well as spinal manipulation and other various manual therapy techniques. Patrick is also certified to perform functional capacity exams, pre and post offer employment testing, and other industrial and occupational health tests and examinations.

“I live in Jefferson Parish, so I am very excited to bring Cypress closer to home. My team is looking forward to providing excellent treatment for our patients throughout the St. Charles and Jefferson Parishes at our clinics. Babin Physical Therapy has had a strong name in the area for over thirty years and we look forward to building upon that reputation in the coming years,” said Patrick Hennessey, partner.

Cypress Physical Therapy opened its first location in LaPlace, LA in 2016 and soon partnered with Dustin Roussel to open a clinic in Gramercy, LA less than one year later. Immediately before the pandemic, Cypress partnered with Jonathan Pecoraro to open a location in Hammond, LA and worked through the pandemic to open in February 2021, holding construction design and update meetings by Zoom. In 2022, Cypress partnered with Phillip Richard to open its first location outside Louisiana in Orange, TX. 2023 brought Cypress to Luling and in 2024, Cypress purchased Revive Physical Therapy and brought on Jeremy Catoire as the partner for their new clinic in Gonzales.

Cypress in Kenner is owned by Patrick Hennessey, Christopher Cancienne, and Buddy Boe and will be located at 371 W. Esplanade Ave.
