Request AppointmentPhysical Therapy is a “direct access” profession. This means that you can see a physical therapist without a referral from another medical provider. Healthcare studies have demonstrated that direct access to physical therapy improves clinical outcomes and decreases unnecessary medical costs. If you’ve ever dealt with the healthcare system, you probably know how difficult it can be to navigate. You may have been shuttled from provider to provider, specialist to specialist, and nobody really took charge of your case or had more than a few minutes to spare for you. Instead, you were left to make sense of everything yourself.
At Resilient, we value our professional network and ability to manage complex cases with our other trusted medical professionals. Most orthopedic and sports-related pain does not require surgery, medication, or invasive procedures hence why physical therapy is an appropriate entry point into the healthcare system. Moreover, we seek to provide relief in the first treatment session. We spend an hour with every patient no matter the visit so evaluation and treatment occur seamlessly.
That said, physical therapy, even the kind that we offer, doesn’t “fix” everyone. When that’s the case, however, we maintain close relationships with some of the best specialists in the country. We can point you in the right direction so you don’t have to figure out who to see or where to go. We are in continual communication with the specialists who co-treat our patients to ensure that care is delivered precisely and comprehensively. Our goal is for you to spend as little time as possible in physical therapists’ and doctors’ offices so you can focus on the things you enjoy, not get stuck on the healthcare hamster wheel.
