One-to-One Rehabilitation Quite simply, our success rate is based on our concern for each patient, individualized treatment by one physical therapist, and reemphasis of patients' home exercise program with review of the program at each visit. We follow up with patients after discharge to see how they are managing at home. Also, they are always welcome after discharge to call our facility to have any questions answered or to be given help with their home exercise program. We educate each patient as to the nature of their injury and, most importantly, how to prevent future injuries. We like to get our patients independent of us and comfortable with their home exercise program as quickly as possible. The initial visit usually ranges from 45 minutes to an hour long. The patient is asked for an account of past and current health status, a description for the exact nature of the injury, and identification of any complaints. We are concerned about how the injury affects a patient's activities. We look at the various day-to-day activities of a patient in order to make any corrections, if needed, in the way a patient sits, rolls out of the bed, drives a car, etc. Then, the injury is assessed and exercises are explained and gone over. Sometimes, a few modalities are performed. The subsequent visits consist of electric stimulation, ultra-sound, massage & mobilizations and therapeutic exercises. When the achievement of desired outcomes have met the anticipated goals, the patient is then discharged. |
