I've been a PT for 8 years now. I have seen a lot of different sides of the profession.  I worked in a skilled nursing and long term care facility for a couple years. I worked in a rural outpatient clinic seeing a huge variety of injuries, from developmental issues in children- to shoulder/back/hip/knee injuries in athletes- to post surgical rehab in older adults. I also worked in a surgical hospital working primarily with patients post hip, knee, and shoulder replacements. But something was missing.

 

One common theme across all these settings was lack of care and support I was able to give to patients.  It wasn't the clinic I worked for necessarily, it was the system.  Insurance companies being so restrictive in approving and paying for physical therapy.  I witnessed people get denied for therapy time and time again, and you know who it happened to the most? The 30-60 year old that has been dealing with a pain or injury that has kept them from their active lifestyle.

They may be dealing with the after effects of old injuries, poor mobility, or new injuries that are just bad enough to keep them out of the gym but they can still go about their day to day life.  These people absolutely NEED a PT during this time to make sure their injury does not become chronic and lead to more serious long term issues.

But time after time their PT is denied after just a couple visits due to "lack of progress" or "necessity". If they actually get approved for PT, they have to share their PT with 3 other patients at the same time that need more attention. Naturally, they are forgotten and passed off to a poorly trained technician that can't do anything to help them.

This is a story we see time and time again.
