top 5 factors to consider when choosing a physical therapy clinic
Time spent with physical therapist
The amount of time spent with the physical therapist (not assistant or aide) is one of the main factors in predicting outcomes and getting results. We all know good things take time. So shouldn’t you get yours?
results
Results should speak for themselves. Going in once or twice a week to get the same treatment for years is probably telling you something. The power of manual therapy and modalities cannot be denied, but we also want lasting results, and that comes from appropriately challenging exercises to build resilience.
Enjoyment
You spend a lot of time with your physical therapist relative to other healthcare practitioners. Does getting better and having fun have to be mutually exclusive? We don’t think so
Convenience
Lets face it, we’re all busy. We need things done and we need them done yesterday. Waiting ages to get an appointment or a doctors referral doesn’t have to be the norm. At START Physical Therapy, we can get you in ASAP without a doctors referral. That means less waiting and more doing.
equipment
Sure, you don’t need top of the line equipment to get better. But what the clinic has available says a lot of their philosophy. Are there only treatment tables there? Or do they have a full gym? Long term results are built, not gained passively. That’s why START Physical Therapy is proud to have partnered with MedFit Training Center who boasts a top-of-the-line training facility with strength training equipment for all.
