PQC Physical Therapy offers quality treatment, continuity of care for worker’s comp patients
When Dr. Peter Gardner has a worker’s comp patient who needs physical therapy, he recommends he or she get that therapy from the Physicians Quality Care Physical Therapy Department.
“The patient has better continuity of care,” said Dr. Gardner, who is also PQC Medical Director. With the physical therapy department just down the hall from his clinic, he said, “I can more closely monitor their progress and react more quickly to any potential problems.”
Instead of waiting for the paperwork from another physical therapy company to assess his patient’s progress, “I can just walk over to see how he is doing,” Dr. Gardner said. “I get the information faster; the patient improves more rapidly and is able to return to work much more timely.”
“This not only saves time and money for the employer, it makes the treatment process easier for the patient.”
Dr. Gardner also knows his patient is getting the highest quality therapy.
“Our physical therapy uses extensive hands-on, manual therapy techniques — which have become rare in today’s physical therapy — resulting in better treatment,” he said. “The more aggressive techniques result in faster and better outcomes.”
