The Creation of the "Top Ten" List

Although I was fortunate that several of my past patients chose to follow me over to Rock Valley to continue their therapy, it is both exciting and scary to start a clinic from scratch. With every new beginning comes the unique opportunity to shape the foundation of our clinic. I have had a little time on my hands to ponder the question, "Why choose Rock Valley for your therapy?" or "What will make this clinic different than any other therapy clinic in town?" So, I decided to take a week to answer this question and create a "Top Ten" list (Reasons to Choose Rock Valley as Your Physical Therapy Provider.) This is what I have come up with so far:
  1. Patients are evaluated and treated by the same Physical Therapist every visit. (No Physical Therapist Assistants and No Physical Therapy Aides)
  2. Rock Valley therapists are board certified in Orthopedic Physical Therapy.
  3. Convenient location in north Peoria at the intersection of Knoxville Ave. and Route 6.
  4. Patients will be seen timely for optimal outcomes.
  5. Prompt and consistent communication with referral sources.
  6. Patients will receive thorough education on their impairments and the role of physical therapy in making their lives better.
  7. Evidence supporting current best care is utilized.
  8. The "Send a Friend" program which entitles individuals to a free 15-minute assessment to determine if therapy services are indicated.
  9. Functional outcome measures are used for all patients to ensure the best, most efficient care for your patients.
  10. In addition to standard therapy services, specialized programming is available: ASTYM, osteoporosis, and golf specific rehabilitation.

I think I will share the list with Amy to see what she thinks. She will probably be relieved when my patient caseload grows. Then, I won't have time to sit and ponder these questions. (L)
