Our “Lifetime Patient Relationship℠” Model

We want to expand traditional Physical Therapy rehabilitation services to assists our patients with both prevention and performance. At your “Initial PT Evaluation” we will go over your medical history and establish “Plan of Care Visits” for your rehabilitation. Our PT rehabilitation programs culminate with a “Graduation Visit” where we will give you goals to achieve after discharge. Our “3-Month Check Ups” are often conducted virtually and are a convenient way to check in with your PT after you have graduated. Our “Baseline Screens” help healthy individuals identify problems before they become serious, and help you perform up to your full potential.

Lifetime Patient Relationships℠ A New Model for Physical Therapy

Initial PT Evaluation

Your first visit with a Physical Therapist to evaluate a specific condition is called an “Initial Evaluation.” You can be referred by another Physician or Self-Refer and decide to come in on your own. This is called Direct Access and is allowed in all 50 US states as of 2019, making Physical Therapy a first choice option for musculoskeletal (MSK) health issues! Before your initial evaluation, you will be asked to provide your medical history which you will review with your PT during your evaluation. During your evaluation you will also receive some level of treatment, and be provided with i) a home exercise program and ii) a “plan of care” for future visits including frequency and duration.

Plan of Care Visits

At your Initial Evaluation, you will be given a “Plan of Care” for future visits. This will typically include a frequency (for example, once or twice per week), and a duration (for example, 8 weeks). It is extremely important that our patients stick to their Plan of Care. For convenience, we recommend that advance schedule visits so they can establish regular days and times for their visits. A Plan of Care may be shortened or lengthened based on the patient’s progress, and a patient may be re-evaluated if there has been a significant change in their condition. If the plan of care is proceeding as scheduled, your PT will schedule a “Graduation Visit” to discharge you from care with modifications to your home exercise program.

Graduation Visit

Your Graduation Visit is essential to your long-term recovery. At this visit, we will make sure you are prepared to self-manage your continued recovery outside of the PT clinic setting. We will let you know the warning signs associated with your condition, and we will establish a date for a Check Up on the condition, typically 3 months later. This Check Up can be done virtually or in clinic. At this point, you can also schedule a “Baseline Screen”, to set a baseline score for your musculoskeletal fitness.

3-Month Check Up

Therapydia is unique in our desire to establish Lifetime Patient Relationships. We’ve asked patients for feedback on their PT experience with other providers, and learned that patients often feel abandoned after their last visit, and out-of-touch with their care providers. We encourage our patients to schedule regular check-ups to monitor their condition, either virtually or in-clinic, usually every 3 months after their Graduation Visit. If their condition has been resolved, we will suggest that they progress to the next step in their patient care timeline which is a Baseline Screen to establish a baseline for monitoring their comprehensive musculoskeletal health going forward.

Baseline Screens

Therapydia has a unique focus on prevention and performance. Our mission includes attention to your longevity, vitality and happiness. Baseline Screens are intended for the healthy population, so are appropriate for individuals who do not yet need PT or who have graduated from PT. Our proprietary software and patient portal, PTanywhere, allows us to establish a baseline score for your musculoskeletal fitness so you can compare your progress over time, and compare yourself across demographics. We offer a variety of screens so that we can find the one that is the most appropriate for you and your goals. All Baseline Screens are comprised of standardized 10 tests, scored from 0-10, for a maximum score of 100. Your screen comes with a home exercise program for targeting any tests where your score was not optimal with the goal of improving your score at your next screen. Subsequent screens can be performed annually or more frequently for athletes or high stress job functions.
