convenient Telehealth (video conference) appointments. See sidebar or click the link below

WHY USE PRIVATE PRACTICE PT?

Lilian Holm Wellness offers private an safe alternative to big physical therapy clinics where a large number of patients are treated in a communal space. In these types of settings the therapist's time and attention is shared by several patients at the same time, and the bulk of the care is delivered by assistants and aides, not by doctors of physical therapy. Many patients have found this approach unsatisfying and less effective.

Numerous studies and experts agree: when physical therapy clinics follow the ubiquitous practice of delegating a large part of the care to assistants the quality of care decreases.

Tim Flynn, PT, PhD: “High utilization of physical therapy assistants has been shown to lead to inferior outcomes, especially when it comes to low back pain management”

Beattie et al: "Emphasis on cost-cutting, high patient volume, and the use of “care extenders” may jeopardize satisfaction.”

Resnick et al:"Clinics that are low utilizers of physical therapist assistants are more likely to provide superior care."

Patients whose care is shared by several physical therapists are also more likely to not get well, and more likely to have MRIs and have to undergo surgery.

ARE YOU READY FOR CHANGE?

Functional healthcare is about
finding the root cause of
your symptoms and building
health and strength from
the inside out. This allows
you to achieve optimal
function and well-being,
and prevent recurrences
in the future.

Individualized Physical Therapy can be combined with Health and Wellness Coaching for optimal results. Learning how to properly nourish your tissues, deepen your sleep and use carefully curated supplements to enhance tissue regeneration, helps you reach your full potential.

ACTIVE PATIENT PARTICIPATION

Good health and normalized function are the result of active lifestyle choices which often include improving movement patterns, thought habits, sleep and nutrient intake.Getting better may require learning about how the body and mind function, as well as acquiring a better understanding of how to interpret pain and discomfort.

Scientific research is constantly
uncovering new and exciting
information, and we need to
continuously incorporate it
into our approach to
maximizing health.

Patients therefore need to be active and engaged participants in their own care and be open to new information, changing beliefs, and do their “homework”.

Your health and success is our common
goal!

CHOOSE PHYSICAL THERAPY FIRST

While orthopedic surgeons occupy an important position in health care, studies show clear cost savings and superior outcomes for patients that turn to a physical therapist first. A 2014 study showed that cost savings for patients choosing physical therapy first were significant: 75% lower costs than the total average costs for the surgery-first group.

What is Telehealth PT?

Telehealth simply means connecting through easy-to-use electronic means, like your computer or phone, and receiving evaluation, training, advice, exercise programs etc just like you would in a physical office.

Telehealth is an exciting new way of receiving physical therapy services when attending therapy at a physical office is not possible due to social distancing mandates, busy schedules, personal preferences or physical barriers.
