Wellness
At Gainesville Physical Therapy & Wellness, we offer a comprehensive wellness program for new and returning patients. For those who have completed physical therapy with us, our Wellness Program offers a supervised approach at a reasonable cost.
Our step-down program, “Keeping You Moving”, promotes continuation of what was learned in physical therapy and encourages prevention of other injuries, falls, aches, and pains, as well as improving posture and body mechanics.
We specialize in developing exercise programs for individuals who have joint pain in their spine, hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, and other limitations, as well as post-surgical individuals who are trying to safely become more active.
We also offer wellness/fitness training, which includes a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed physical therapist to determine needs and help establish goals. Circumference, BMI, body fat composition, and weight measurement services are also available. Our curriculum involves comprehensive training including posture, core strengthening, balance, and overall fitness. These programs are available as either one-on-one personal training or group training.
What are my options for continuing physical therapy?
- Being a part of Gainesville Physical Therapy’s WELLNESS PROGRAM.
- Continuing one-on-one physical therapy sessions with a licensed physical therapist for personal training and hands-on work such as massage therapy, etc. (This is not reimbursable through insurance but may qualify for your health savings plan.)
Who can be a part of the Wellness Program? You can be a part of the Wellness Program if:
- You have reached the goals established by your physical therapist and are ready for a more independent exercise program.
- Your insurance has run out; however, you would benefit from further physical therapy and finances are tight. You must be able to perform exercises safely and without one-on-one assistance. You must not be in need of “hands-on treatment” from your physical therapist. You must be able to manage your symptoms and improve through exercises only.
- You do not need physical therapy, but would like a higher level of supervision with your exercise efforts. If you are not first a patient entering into the wellness programs, you must be evaluated by a licensed physical therapist before starting to make sure the program is safe and will meet your specific needs.
What are the benefits of the Wellness Program?
- You can continue your exercises indefinitely with supervision.
- The exercise specialist will assist you with your exercises, making sure you are set up and performing the exercises properly. He or she will follow the directions of your physical therapist, modifying and advancing your routine as needed.
- If a problem should arise, your physical therapist will be notified and will direct you appropriately.
- You will be incorporating your exercises into your daily or weekly routine to maintain and continue progress.
How do I schedule for the Wellness Program?
You can schedule at the front desk after you have completed your final formal physical therapy session. We ask that you schedule and pay for one month in advance to reserve your time.
We are here to help and look forward to hearing from you.
