The personalized care that you deserve

Our business model is rare in the physical therapy marketplace, and it is why we are so successful. When you come to Holistic Physical Therapy Services Inc., you will walk into a peaceful and beautiful environment. We will take the time to get to know you, your health history and your individual concerns and goals. This allows us to really listen to you, and to perform a complete evaluation of your musculoskeletal and postural system. We view you as a whole person, not as an injured part. This is the basis of our holistic physical therapy philosophy.

Partners in the healing process

Once we have completed your evaluation, we will review your findings with you and work together to create treatment options tailored to your specific needs. It has been our experience that the more time we spend with our clients, the more complete their healing process.   We will communicate closely with your referring health care provider throughout your time with us.

Focusing on wellness for life

Our main goal initially is to minimize your pain and immediately improve your function and quality of life. At Holistic Physical Therapy Services Inc. we go a step further. We are committed to educating you in how to permanently correct old postural patterns and muscle imbalances and replace them with more efficient ways to move your body so that you don't repeat old pain patterns and faulty movement patterns over and over. Making changes in the body that last requires a commitment to long term wellness. We offer neuromuscular rehabilitation using the Pilates Rehab Approach to assist you in making such long term changes in your body. We also offer Holistic Pilates and Fitness Services including Personal Training and ongoing Pilates Reformer Classes for those who want to continue pursuing their personal fitness goals.

What is Holistic Physical Therapy?

Before we discuss holistic physical therapy, let's first define physical therapy in general terms. Physical therapists are professionals who hold a college degree. Physical therapists are required to be licensed in the state in which they practice.  

A brief definition from the American Physical Therapy Association states that the physical therapists scope of practice includes (but is not limited to the following):

1. A physical therapist provides services to patients/clients who have impairments, functional limitations, disabilities or changes in physical function and health status resulting from an injury, disease or other causes.


2. A physical therapist practices in collaboration with a variety of health care professionals including physicians, physician's assistants, dentists, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers and many others.


3. A physical therapist provides prevention, wellness, consultation and educational services both in the clinic and in the community.


4. Physical therapists are extensively trained in the areas of the musculoskeletal and neurological systems of the body and therefore they can be very effective in treating a wide variety of injuries and illnesses. Medical and evidence base research provides the foundation for physical therapy practice.
   

So how is holistic physical therapy different from traditional physical therapy?

Many clients have become disillusioned with physical therapy practices that focus only on an injured part, or practices where they “churn” patients out like a “mill.” We understand how disconnected clients feel when they are in these rushed clinical environments.

The definition of the word holistic is as follows: “emphasizing the importance of the whole, rather than analysis or separation into parts.” The word whole comes from the root hael or hal , which means whole or healthy.

Women and men who consider themselves holistic physical therapists, have at the heart of their practice this basic principle: that each person is inherently whole, and can not be simply divided into parts, that if one part of the person is affected by illness or trauma, the whole person is affected and this cannot be overlooked in physical therapy evaluation or treatment.

The therapists at Holistic Physical Therapy Services Inc. are committed to providing comprehensive physical therapy treatment within the scope of physical therapy practice,that honors a philosophy of treating the whole person.

This philosophy includes providing a relaxed, beautiful and safe environment for you to discuss the nature of your injury or illness. We take our time and are not rushed. We spend 1 1/2 hours with you on your first visit. We perform a comprehensive postural and musculoskeletal examination of the whole body, not just the area of injury.   We spend time talking with you about how your injury or illness has effected your life. We review your evaluation findings and discuss treatment options that may work for your specific needs.

Your follow up visits are performed in the same manner. We implement a treatment plan that you and your therapist have agreed upon. We strongly believe that taking time with each client is a major key to our successful clinical outcomes.

We work collaboratively with the health care professional who referred you, and keep them updated on your progress. We strive to create an atmosphere that supports and honors the wholeness of each patient.
