BenchMark Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function. So, what can you expect at a physical therapy visit? It's pretty simple. So simple, we've broken it down into four sections. #PTMonth #ChoosePT #UpstreamFamily

Did you know, patients who attend therapy in a hybrid model have the highest patient satisfaction rates? Our patients who attend therapy sessions via both telehealth and in-clinic are 99.5% satisfied with their outcomes. See for yourself: Through telehealth, you are able to connect with your therapist more frequently to ask questions and review home exercises which empowers you to take a more active approach to your care.

It's American #HeartMonth This week we're looking at the risk factors for heart disease: High LDL cholesterol, smoking, obesity, diabetes, poor diet, physical inactivity and excessive alcohol use. When you look at this list, it becomes clear that most if not all of these risk factors are controllable! As recommended by the American Heart Association for physical activity and overall cardiovascular health:... Get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity (or a combination of both), preferably spread throughout the week. Where to get started? The easiest and most effective way to begin an exercise program is to start walking. It is easy, sociable, can be done anywhere, and doesn’t cost a penny. It is easy to make a walking program part of your daily routine and it doesn’t have to be 30 minutes continuously: You can break it up into three 10-minute sessions per day.

Making a difference: Our latest Pillars with Purpose Grant is for $3,000 to The Good Samaritan Health Center.

Thank you to Upstream leadership and Pillars for getting thi...s dream to the finish line, ~Aaron Honeycutt, RVP, Benchmark Rehab Partners #upstreamfamily #pillarswithpurpose #pillarsdailybread

If you can answer YES to any of these questions then YES, you can be a good candidate for Telehealth. With telehealth, we are able to see you in your home environment. This can give us a better understanding of your day-to-day life and allow us to evaluate and modify your movements as needed. Like an in-clinic visit, our therapists can still perform a full-body assessment and review functional movements such as reaching overhead, lifting, squatting, kneeling, getting in and out of a chair. Listening to your story and observing your movements tells us a lot about you!
