Why One-on-One Care Makes a Difference in Physical Therapy
One-on-one physical therapy with Anthony allows complete focus on a single client/patient, which can improve satisfaction and reported outcomes. In-home and concierge models build on this by integrating therapy directly into the patient’s environment and daily tasks.
Personalized assessment and planning
- A focused evaluation allows Anthony to identify specific issues, functional goals, and home safety needs, so the plan can be tailored to the patient/client.
- Individualized plans streamline progress toward what matters most to the patient/client, such as pain reduction or return to important functional activities.
Real-world practice
- In-home sessions make it possible to practice transfers, stairs, bathroom mobility, and kitchen or workspace tasks, which supports carryover of gains.
Practicing in real time in your space enables Anthony to make recommendations to optimize your progress.
Improved adherence and communication
- Seeing Anthony one-on-one strengthens the therapeutic relationship and expedites progression to your goals.
- Continuous direct supervision with Anthony allows immediate feedback, rapid adjustments to the exercises, and clearer communication about progress and obstacles than in busier or multi-therapist models.
Safety and independence
- In-home one-on-one care with Anthony allows direct assessment of fall risk (gait, balance, hazards) and integrated targeted strategies such as specific recommendations of assistive devices, exercise progressions, and environmental modifications.
- One-on-one therapists focuses on maintaining or improving independent living, with the goal of staying out of the healthcare system.
Convenience and accessibility
- Services delivered right to you saving valuable time otherwise lost on travel and in waiting areas.
- Appointments are arranged around your schedule. Availability is limited, as you are seen exclusively by the founder.
- Each session is tailored to your unique needs, always provided by Anthony, with no double-booking or distractions from other patients.
- Direct, ongoing communication ensures faster care when needed, without restrictions from insurance authorizations and restrictions.
