ACTIVE PATIENT PARTICIPATION

Good health and normalized function are the result of active lifestyle choices which often include normalizing movement patterns, thought habits, sleep and nutrient intake. Sometimes, getting better requires learning about how the body and mind function, as well as better understanding 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 health recovery. 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”.

SOLVING PROBLEMS 
​
At the end of the day, you just want to feel - and function - well again. The goal of Lilian Holm Wellness is not to provide merely palliative care, but to dig deep and find the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. We don't only want to help you feel better when your back "goes out", we want to make sure it stops happening! Even if you have a long-standing problem, if you are willing to invest in your health you can feel better! 

ARE YOU READY FOR CHANGE?

Functional, holistic healthcare is about finding the root cause of your symptoms and building health from the inside out.

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 bring out your full potential.

NOT YOUR RUN OF THE MILL PHYSICAL THERAPY CLINIC

Lilian Holm Wellness offers an alternative to large physical therapy clinics where 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 therapist. In this model, the majority of the time in PT is spent exercising under the supervision of less skilled aides - a model many patients have found unsatisfying. 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.

If you want the best care available, seek out a physical therapist that will actually treat you, every time, the whole time, and isn't forced to treat numerous patients simultaneously or delegate your care to assistants who lack the education and skill of a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

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.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
The various systems of the body form an integrated whole, and have to be addressed together for optimal results. The physical body heals, regenerates and renews itself best when its normal function is supported by optimizing sleep, nutrition, emotional well-being and empowering the patient through education.
