Try Therapy First

Top 5 Reasons to Try PT & OT First

Physical & occupational therapy is diagnostic—patients should make significant improvement in 2 - 4 weeks; patients heal faster as the underlying CAUSE of a patient's problem is addressed.
American Heart Association prescribes: Physical Therapy First
"We advise physicians to start with non-pharmacological treatments such as physical therapy and exercise, etc"
from www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3045689
Physical & occupational therapy is conservative: non-invasive and supports; does not compete with traditional medicine.
As healthcare providers streamline their approach to treatment, patients get relief faster and EMPLOYERS and insurers SAVE MONEY. (see Paths to Recovery) If a specialist (neurologist, orthopedists, etc.) is consulted, they will want to know what the outcome of the physical or occupational therapy treatment is before expensive tests are prescribed.
FREE consultations are available at the convenience of the patient. A copy of the patient assessment is sent to the Primary Care Physician to offer physical or occupational therapy as a potential solution.
