BenchMark Physical Therapy

This Physical Therapy Month, our #upstreamfamily associates are offering their thanks to the physical therapists that have been a true inspiration to them personally and those who have gone above and beyond to support their patients, community, and clinics. Thank you, Sarah Christopher, DPT, for inspiring those around you! "Sarah Christopher is the new clinical director for this location. At first, I was afraid of how a new boss would be. Sarah is kind and concerned with not ...only her patients but her employees as well. Our patients enjoy working with her, and I feel they really look forward to conversing with her when they come in. She is good at remembering what her patients last spoke about and their concerns. I have had patients call me back after their appointment with her to tell Sarah, "thank you." She takes the initiative to market for our clinic and takes women's health courses to open up another branch of people we can help. She is awesome, and I want her to know that what she brings to our clinic does not go unseen, and we at New Vision want to thank her for all her hard work. Thank you, Sarah Christopher!!!" #Upstreamfamily #PTmonth #ThankATherapist

If you can answer YES to any of these questions then YES, you can be a good candidate for Telehealth. With telehealth, we are able to see you in your home environment. This can give us a better understanding of your day-to-day life and allow us to evaluate and modify your movements as needed. Like an in-clinic visit, our therapists can still perform a full-body assessment and review functional movements such as reaching overhead, lifting, squatting, kneeling, getting in and out of a chair. Listening to your story and observing your movements tells us a lot about you!

Vision, Courage, Compassion: Black Physical Therapists Who Transformed the Profession. #BlackHistoryMonth #ChoosePT

Our patients experience the best functional improvement and outcomes when they consistently attend the number of sessions prescribed by their physician. In fact, research indicates that functional improvement increases from 90% to 98% when patients attend 3 therapy sessions per week. But what can be done when time constraints make it difficult to keep up with in-clinic treatment? ... TELEHEALTH! When patients can’t make their in-clinic sessions for the prescribed frequency, telehealth offers a convenient alternative so that they can continue to achieve a superior outcome. Telehealth services can be utilized for full-time therapy OR as part of a hybrid model with in-clinic visits.
