Individual needs deserve individual options.
Pelvic health and wellness does not have one size fits all solutions. Bodies evolve through decades of life. Every age and stage brings new discovery, and sometimes, new challenges.
For inclusive, trauma informed, culturally sensitive care, Decades Physical Therapy is here to help.
Decades Physical Therapy is an Out-Of-Network provider.
Physical Therapy & Wellness:
What is the difference?
Physical Therapy: Health Care
Rehabilitation for a specific diagnosis, impairment, or injury requiring skilled care to reduce symptoms and restore function.
A physical therapist evaluates the root cause of a client’s concerns, collaborating to develop a plan that helps the client reach their goals.
Physical Therapy care is best suited for clients recovering from an injury, surgery, recent illness, or flare up of a chronic condition.
When medically necessary, Physical Therapy may be covered by insurance, subject to individual policy terms (e.g., limited number of visits, required prior authorization).
Clients are responsible for verifying terms and out-of-network benefits.
Wellness: Self Care
Individualized education, performance, or fitness based support aimed at general health, well being, and prevention.
Wellness visits are more integrative and holistic, assisting clients in achieving their goals with experienced, professional guidance.
Wellness visits are best suited for proactive clients seeking to address function, fitness, injury prevention, or long term maintenance.
Because wellness visits are not covered by insurance, scheduling is flexible. How often, or how many visits are scheduled depends entirely on the client’s available time, priorities, and goals.
Bridging the Gap
The medical model of physical therapy is traditionally reactive, meaning in response to an injury, impairment, or illness. Insurance and regulatory guidelines require physical therapy to end once an independent level of function has been reached, or progress has plateaued.
Discontinuing that professional relationship, and the supportive encouragement that comes with it, can be difficult. For some, just having an upcoming visit helps with staying on track and accountable. Transitioning to a proactive, whole person wellness model bridges the gap helping to prevent re-injury and maintain therapeutic gains with a seamless continuum of care.
