Transitional Physical Therapy
Each day people face a tough economic decision—pay out of pocket to complete supervised physical therapy after insurance allowances expire, or remain debilitated and risk re-injury. Not surprisingly, many people never return to therapy and therefore never return to full function. Medicare and commercial insurance policies cover limited benefits for supervised therapy. Frequently it is insufficient for complete, safe restoration of function.
Transitional Physical TherapyTM was developed by Terry L. Whipple, MD, Chief of Orthopaedics at American Self—an orthopaedic surgeon with keen interest in physical therapy and fitness—in conjunction with OCRN in Vienna, Virginia, to bridge that transitional time between supervised therapy and complete independence. Transitional Physical TherapyTM is presented in DVD format, with discussion and demonstration of orthopaedically appropriate exercise selections for comprehensive rehabilitation after injury, surgery or fractures. The programs are also excellent for pre-habilitation before elective joint replacement surgery.
Individual DVD programs are available for the Knee, Hip, Spine, Neck, Shoulder and Knee Ligaments. For about the cost of a single visit copay at a PT clinic, the DVD’s can be used repeatedly and provide computer printing of the exercise instructions you select for office use, gym or travel. This is a great resource and a valuable tool on your road to recovery from injuries or reconstructive surgery. Visit www.OrthoCareRN.com or call 1-877-444-6276 to order for just $39.99.
