Q6: “ What is the greatest benefit to coming in to Synergy? Isn’t all Physical Therapy the same? ” A: The greatest benefit of coming to Synergy is getting quality, private time with your Doctor of Physical Therapy to perform an extensive, detailed evaluation and determine the correct diagnosis. We follow that by providing exceptional manual therapy care each visit and expert exercise prescription. (Without trying to brag, we are THE neuromusculoskeletal and movement experts within the medical community). No other profession has the extensive body of research, training and focus to identify the true cause of your pain and offer immediate and research proven solutions. Secondly, NO!!! -all physical therapy clinics are not the same. There are generally two major schools of practice in outpatient Physical Therapy. One is the high volume, corporate-owned, profit-driven and exercise-based physical therapy. In this environment, you will likely see your therapist 10-15 minutes (at most) then perform your home exercises with a non- licensed technician for the remainder of your time. Even worse, we have had patients tell us that they were treated almost exclusively by student volunteers at other local facilities! In contrast, the other school of practice is a manual therapy-based treatment approach. While this approach is almost exclusively found in private practices, not all private practices will give their therapists adequate time to perform manual therapy as a primary treatment. This is why we regularly have patients come to our facility from 30-60 minutes away. Not all PT is the same, and those that know the difference are willing to drive a bit to receive the best care possible. Take Away Summary: All physical therapy is NOT the same. Synergy’s greatest asset is our exceptional Doctors of Physical Therapy who have time to perform detailed diagnostic evaluations to determine the root cause of your pain and perform exceptional manual therapy techniques to fix it.
