Physical Therapy at Balance takes place in a positive, motivating
atmosphere. Whether you come to us for rehabilitative therapy,
or for strength and fitness training to enhance your personal
performance, our commitment is the same. We design individual
programs that help you succeed – and often exceed – your
own expectations.
Our exceptionally skilled Physical Therapists combine
extensive training with hands-on experience.
They hold Masters and Doctorate degrees in Physical Therapy
and have completed residencies and fellowships at the Institute
of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, an affiliate of Massachusetts
General Hospital and Boston University. They are Certified
Strength & Conditioning Specialists and Athletic Trainers. |
…highest level of training |
|
At Balance we believe focusing on you will help you
make more progress toward your goal.
Typically, a first
session at Balance is a 60 minute evaluation with a Masters
or Doctorate level Physical Therapist. Follow up is 40
minutes with the same Physical Therapist. At many practices
you receive 20-30 minutes of treatment, often with a paraprofessional
who doesn’t
have the same level of specialized training. Strength & Conditioning
sessions are 1 hour long; either 1:1 or 1:2. |
…longer treatment sessions |
|
Balance Physical Therapy uses an integrative approach
that combines hands-on assessment and treatment with education.
When you understand more about how your body works, your
therapy sessions and workouts will be more effective.
All aspects of your life are important to the strengthening
and healing process, so we also assess your work environment,
car and even home office set up, making adjustments as
necessary to ensure your complete success. |
…..focus on integrative approach |
|
Continuity of care is important.
That’s why you’ll
work with the same Physical Therapist/Trainer at Balance
throughout your treatment. But you’ll also have the
expertise of the entire staff available to you. Your Physical
Therapist will bring in members of the Balance team if
they have special expertise that can help you.
We also communicate directly with your doctor/healthcare
providers. We’ll make a phone call to your doctor
if we discover something important to your treatment. |
… continuity of care and communication |
|
Healing and strengthening require full participation…
• Between Patient and Physical Therapist
We enjoy educating you about your body and showing you
how to make changes to speed the healing process and maximize
your strength and flexibility.
• Between Physical Therapists
At Balance staff members work as a team, collaborating
to provide you with the full range of our expertise.
• Between Patients
We encourage communication and a sense of community between
patients. Most of our patients feel a greater sense of
connection and inspiration when they support one another
during their time at Balance Physical Therapy. |
….teamwork and camaraderie |
|
We are “Physical Therapy with a conscience.”
We are committed to giving back to the communities where
we live, work and play.
We strive to be environmentally conscious in all aspects
of our business. We take steps to minimize our impact on
the environment such as our use of soy based ink and 100%
recycled paper. |
