YOU ARE NOT ALONE

For the beginning of my career I worked for and eventually managed an insurance based orthopedic sports medicine clinic for a large outpatient physical therapy company. Due to decreasing reimbursement rates from insurance providers for treatment, physical therapy clinics have been forced to see more patient per day to make up the difference. As Physical Therapists I was juggling multiple patients at the same time each hour and seeing between 15-20 day. I was also seeing a trend of treatment patterns that were heavily influenced by what insurance companies were willing to pay more for regardless of the clients diagnosis. This model to me was broken and just didn’t allow me to provide quality patient care. After 4 or 5 years in this environment I decided it was time for a change.

This was the catalyst for me starting my own practice and moving away from the traditional insurance based model of patient care. I wanted to be able to spend one on one time with all of my clients and get the outcomes I knew were possible with focused, individualized treatment plans. The result was MVMT 360, a fee for service physical therapy practice that wouldn’t be limited or influenced by big insurance companies on how treatment is delivered. MVMT stands for MoVeMenT and 360 represents degrees of MVMT. This idea of maximizing and improving how our body moves in order to prevent compensation patterns that might limit our performance or lead to injury truly represents our core philosophy. We optimize movement patterns to not only recover from injury but prevent injury and improve performance in any activity or sport. The human body will always take the path of least resistance to accomplish a task. Therefor weakness, instability, or mobility issues in the upper body can impact the lower body and vice versa if we ask the body to perform complex movements like the golf swing or throwing a baseball or sprinting.
