Advocating for an Individualized-Approach to physical therapy; a rebellion against the Cookie-Cutter Method.
In our fast-paced and consumer-driven world, it’s easy to fall into the “I want a quick fix” or “I just want to receive”.
I mean, it’s hard. We’re often rushing around doing everything for everyone else; for our kids, for our parents, for our extended families, for our neighbours, for our friends, for our coworkers, for our bosses, for our pets, for our communities (church, sports, clubs, etc)… when it comes down to needing something for US, it’s hard to find the energy and motivation.
There’s often nothing left in the tank.
The taboo title of this blog comes from realizing that our philosophy and strategy is markedly different. At Velona Health, our physical therapy sessions aim to unite the doctor of physical therapy with the patient as an unstoppable team.
Because there is no binder that we can pull off the shelves for each ‘project’ (ex: Day 1 of Back Pain), our approach depends heavily on the team we establish and nurture in clinic. There are SO many ways to get to the same goal and YOU, the patient, are super important in helping to guide which types of homework are easiest for you to incorporate into your already super busy and super demanding lives.
If we can team up and effectively choose homework that fits into YOUR day, a NORMAL day for you, then it makes achieving physical therapy goals and making progress that much easier.
We want you to succeed. We know that this is the only way that you can make lasting improvements and achieve long-term goals. We don’t believe there should be a heavy burden of daily upkeep and management for you to be pain-free and comfortable… AND happy AND doing all the physical activities and movements and things that you want to be doing!
