WHAT PHYSICAL THERAPY SAVES YOU
TIME, MONEY, AND COMFORT
DID YOU KNOW ...
Physical therapy can be an effective way to address what’s bothering you, whether it’s new pain or an old injury flaring up. It may save time and money — surgery can take a long time to recover from and doesn’t always get to the root of an issue. Surgery also costs a lot . Some issues can even be worked on through physical therapy while you’re waiting for surgery. Other professionals charge high rates with little one-on-one contact. That’s not the case with PT. During physical therapy, your physical therapist will work with you to address areas of pain or discomfort. While many clinics assign multiple patients to work with one physical therapist at a time, at Altitude PT, we work one-on-one with clients to focus on treatment that’s customized to them. We find out which activities your pain has been keeping you from and come up with a plan to get them back in your life. ONE-ON-ONE CUSTOMIZED TREATMENT
You’re lucky to live where you do; besides the spectacular Sawtooth Mountains, Idaho is one of 18 states that gives patients unrestricted access to physical therapy. That means you don’t need a referral from a doctor or a specialist. If you feel pain and want to see how PT can help ease it, you can access a physical therapist directly. Insurance plans do vary in percentages and deductibles, so work with your physical therapist to learn more and find out how you can take advantage of your direct access to PT. When you’re looking for a physical therapy clinic in the Treasure Valley that works one-on-one with its patients, look to Altitude PT. Have a shoulder that’s bothering you? Next month, we are offering a free shoulder workshop where you can learn more about how physical therapy can ease your shoulder pain. This is a great no-strings-attached opportunity to see what PT can do for you. To register, call Altitude PT today.
