TOP 10 REHAB CONCEPTS
The physical therapists @ PT Plus agree on a general philosophy or approach to treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.
- Always evaluate the whole person/body.
- Focus on areas of concern for each person.
- Rehabilitation consists of the application of the right treatment at the right time followed by the right exercise… and time.
- During rehabilitation all procedures and modalities must be based on anatomy, physiology and scientific principles.
- In the later stages of rehabilitation, exercise and time are primary components of the rehabilitative process.
- The focus of rehabilitation is on functional goals and outcomes for our patients.
- Rehab is not linear. Progress does not occur in a straight line but a series of ups, downs and plateaus. Sometimes this process needs to be measured in weeks or months, not days.
- If progress is slower than expected, other directions in treatment must be taken to resolve or identify the problems that may be impeding the healing or rehabilitation process.
- Regardless of the outcomes, each person’s concerns must be heard, addressed and attempts made to solve problems.
- Most people have a physician and dentist on their healthcare team. Everyone should also have a physical therapist who knows you and whom you can trust. We hope you choose a physical therapist from PT Plus as one of your health care providers!
