Let PT save you money!

The APTA released the above study "The Economic Value of Physical Therapy in the United States."

Why is this important to you ?

It is a report regarding choosing PT “over alternative treatments.”

Physical Therapy is about:

• Avoiding complications from surgery (eg. being able to actually straighten your knee and walk normally after a knee replacement; being able to return to sport minimizing risk of re-tearing a repaired ACL, patellar tendon, Achilles tendon, etc)

• REDUCE recovery time (what is the value of your time and feeling good while living your life ?!)

• Avoid the risks of overuse of certain medications (physical therapists absolutely support the appropriate use of prescribed medication - the idea here is to reduce the need for it - less pain, less medication…)

For the 8 conditions analyzed, this is how much money was SAVED per condition by utilizing Physical Therapy.

Let’s break it down:

Did you see savings of $39,533 for carpel tunnel syndrome?!

Shouldn’t this be on the news ?!

How about $13,981 for arthritis in the knee ? And, please, understand if you’re over 50 (sometimes younger), you have arthritis in your knee. Now, whether you have pain or not is a whole different matter.

Let’s save tens of thousands of dollars, together !

Our Meaning:

 We believe in the warmth of coffee and tea and community. This is a place where we are integrating yoga and physical therapy to meet RVA's needs to heal from an injury then work to prevent reinjury, together.
