When many people are injured and get a prescription for therapy from their doctor/chiropractor/podiatrist/ acupuncturist, they often do not have a clear idea of what therapy involves. Like most therapy clinics, we offer a wide range of treatments to help decrease pain and help improve our patient's function, flexibility and strength. In addition to our manual techniques and individualized programs, we offer all the typical modalities (heat/cold/electrical stimulation/ultrasound/ traction), as well as exercises, postural/body mechanics instruction. Although we offer the same modalities, and many of the same exercises, our advanced manual techniques, individualized exercise, stress reduction and ergonomics programs set us apart from the "run of the mill" therapy clinics. We are growing in large part from word of mouth from our satisfied patients who have had therapy at other clinics with limited success. Treatment time: In many physical therapy clinics, visits are getting shorter with 15 minutes or less actually spent with the therapist, and the remainder with an aide who performs all exercises and modalities. At SJPT, we feel that this short changes the patient who will not receive adequate skilled intervention time. Patients at SJPT receive at least a full 30 minute session with a registered physical therapist, and then modalities as needed. Bilingual Staff: To give all our patients the best possible care, the entire staff at SJPT is bilingual in Spanish. Hispanic patients who have limited English skills can benefit more fully from their physical therapy when they can comprehend their therapy instructions completely. Provision of health services is not influenced by member’s race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, or source of payment.
