Physical Therapy is one of those medical fields which is often quite misunderstood. Doctors often tell patients that they need physical therapy after an injury or surgery. The patient then looks up and books an appointment at their closest in-network clinic.There are a few obstacles facing people that are looking for good physical therapy near them. First, many people who have never been to physical therapy before, don't actually know what it is. Even people who've been to a physical therapist before, aren't exactly sure what the physical therapist does besides show you some stretches and exercises. This makes things difficult because people are not quite sure what to expect.
Second, it's often very challenging to find a physical therapy clinic that delivers a meaningful difference. Many physical therapy clinics that are "in-network" with health insurance companies are often extremely limited by the very same insurance company. By telling the therapists what it will or will not pay for, the insurance company can dictate the number of sessions it will cover, the length of the sessions, and which types of treatments the therapist can do.
This is often the reason why many people only spend a few minutes with the physical therapist. The rest of the time is spent on some type of machine or in a room doing exercises with several other people at the same time. This effectively turns physical therapy into a numbers game where the therapist needs to see a certain number of patients and perform a specific set of treatments per hour in order to stay in business.
Project Physical Therapy, a new physical therapy clinic in Brooklyn New York, is focused on breaking the traditional physical therapy system and delivering actual results to clients. This clinic helps active people recover from injury so they can get back to sports and doing what they love, without painkillers, injections, or surgery.
"So many of my clients were told that they need to "just accept" or "find a way to live with" their limitations, and it's just not true," said Danny Shapiro, founder of Project Physical Therapy. "I started this practice because there is nearly always something that can be done to improve someone's condition and injury. People shouldn't just accept their situation as hopeless or resort to pain pills, injections, or unnecessary surgery."
Project Physical Therapy doesn't work with many insurance companies and therefore doesn't need to bend to their demands and limitations. The physical therapist is able to devote 100% of their time to each patient and use a "hands on" approach called manual therapy. When compared to typical modalities like ultrasound, electric stimulation, and standard exercises found at other clinics, this approach has given Danny's past clients the outcomes they desired.
"We don't put anyone on useless machines, and everyone's treatment plan is customized for a specific outcome. Whether it's getting back to the gym, running, or just waking up in the morning without back pain," said Danny. "We want to show people what real physical therapy looks like and that we can get people back to living pain-free and back to doing the things they love."
