Treatment is carried out in a private room
Many physical therapy settings place their patients in a gym with several other patients giving the treatment a feeling of being in a “fish bowl”. At The Well, your treatment is carried out in a private room where you can feel safe in discussing your complaints without the ears of others listening in. Our treatment table is heated, there are no fluorescent lights and we use cloth linens. No lying on paper or vinyl and we don’t use harsh, toxic chemicals on the surfaces.
Treatment is only carried out by a Licensed Physical Therapist
Your entire treatment plan is carried out by a single Physical Therapist. There is no one else providing care for you other than the licensed physical therapist that performed your evaluation.
You are never left unattended to carry out exercises on your own
Physical Therapy involves muscle specific exercises to promote wellness. It is essential they are performed correctly to ensure maximal benefit is achieved with the goal of wellness being met as quickly as possible. At The Well, you perform the exercises under the direct supervision of your physical therapist who is able to provide appropriate cueing to ensure you are not compensating stronger muscles for weaker ones.
Your entire treatment is hands on
Your time is valuable and we want you to get the most out of your treatment time. You won’t be placed on hot packs or cold packs and left alone while your therapist busies herself with someone or something else. We believe you can use heat and cold on your own time and that your time at The Well is best spent with your therapist. You will be receiving manual therapy, massage and exercises during the entire treatment time. We will focus on a manageable home program to ensure optimal progress toward your goals and that the gains made in therapy are maintained and promote a healthy future.
