Why a Wellness Program?

Hear from Steve Lang, one of our patients.

“For many years, I got by with limited formal exercise programs.  After college and graduate school, work and family seemed to keep me busy.  Mother Nature crept up on me and several years ago, my neck required extensive treatment, along with a referral to McVay PT.  Since then, I have been treated by them for back, shoulder, hip and knee issues of various times.  The results have always been terrific, having in mind there is only so much one can do with a 60-70 year old body.

I realized a while ago that it would be helpful to have an assessment by a physical therapist, at least once a year, as one does with their primary care physician.  Those occasional aches tend to increase in frequency and intensity over time and a regular visit results in earlier and usually much shorter treatment.

The Wellness Program provided that opportunity and helps to keep me moving.  I have had immediate appointments and an assessment of overall health rather than just dealing with a particular joint or injury.  Recommendations for lifestyle changes and at home exercises help in the recovery and maintenance phases. 

Jeremy and his staff have been delightful to work with through the wellness program.  I have learned from them and tend to pay more attention to my health than I did before.  A scheduled check up every 6 months serves to keep me focused and if an issue pops up between visits, I call immediately since I am an established patient.  If I need a course of treatment, they arrange for the referral from my PCP.  A seamless, efficient process and very little wait for an appointment!  A very big plus when in pain.” – Steve Lang
