One-On-One Care
Most traditional clinics will have 2-4 (or even more) patients being seen by a single therapist at a time. This means that your time with the therapist is limited and you are often left to figure things out yourself, perform an exercise incorrectly, or make it hard for you to get your therapist's attention if an activity is too easy/too hard/or painful. At Advanced Motion Physical Therapy, we believe that YOU should be the center (and only) attention of the therapist. One on one treatment allows the therapist to adjust the plan of care in a timely manner which helps you get better faster. They can also spend more time educating you on the anatomy/physiology behind your condition and your form with exercises so that you will be able to help yourself in the future and avoid having to start a new round of therapy if symptoms return (saving you money down the road!)
Individualized Care
Your treatment will always be based around your specific goals. It doesn't matter if your goal is as simple as being able to walk around the house pain-free or as complex as completing a triathlon, we are here to help you make it happen. As stated before, many insurance companies will not provide coverage outside of getting you back to "normal daily activities" (i.e. standing up from a chair, going up stairs, washing your hair etc.) We know that most people have goals far beyond “normal activities” and that is why we are here. Getting you back to the activities you love is not only important for your physical health, but for your mental health as well.
Full Session with a Doctor
In our business model, you will not find yourself pawned off to a PT tech or aide. Nor will you find that your follow-up treatment sessions are with a PTA (PT Assistant) after your initial evaluation. We believe in consistent treatment with the same clinician. Many outpatient clinics use PT Techs and Assistants as a way to see more patients at once and cut payroll costs, but here at Advanced Motion Physical Therapy, we believe your entire treatment should be with the Doctor themselves- from start to finish! This allows for the very best possible care by creating a greater rapport between patient and therapist which, in turn, leads to quicker adjustments to the plan of care if necessary.
Transparency
At Advanced Motion, we believe in getting you better faster and making your physical therapy experience as smooth as possible. With a cash-based clinic, there are no surprise bills, and no waiting on insurance company authorizations before you can start treatment. You will know how long the treatment sessions will be, how much they will cost, and what to expect as your treatment progresses.
