Ever feel like You are being taken for granted? That the place you go to for health, wellness, & rehabilitation sees you as number and not a person? Feel like if you stopped coming that they wouldn’t even notice? If you answered Yes to any or all of these statements, You are Not Being Valued! You are being seen as a monetary value and not your Personal Value.
In “Our” little world of health, wellness, & rehabilitation, if an individual doesn’t see The Value…then they won’t make meaningful progress. First, they have to see the Value in coming to Our place. If that Value isn’t made clear and understood, they won’t put Value in it, won’t be consistent and thus not make progress. Value is knowing that your time, energy, and money will benefit you…in a way that matters to You!
Secondly, a connection has to be made as well. We, at PEAK Physical Therapy, make a concerted effort to connect with each and every person that walks through our doors – treat the person while healing the injury. We state it as: Person First – Patient Second. To each and every one of you, as soon as you call and embark on a journey with us, we consider you a part of “Our Family.”
Too many places see their medical clients as an injury and not as a person. And thus, miss the opportunity to treat the real trauma – the feeling of loss! After my 5 knee surgeries, the biggest injury wasn’t to my right and left knee, but the sense of loss of my identity and the fear of not being able to be active & mobile as I once was – that fear is very, very powerful and can hold you back. With the right TEAM, you can burst through those clouds of doubt & feeling of loss. You can regain your independence, mobility, and return back to your previous active life. *1714
Thirdly, if You Value something, You will work just a bit harder accomplish to your goals. That little bit of extra effort may just make the difference in reaching your goal versus not. The truth is with healing – it comes from within. If you are not in the right environment, healing won’t be optimal. For instance, the same food will taste different depending if you are stressed or in a jovial mood. Your mindset & mood changes your bio-chemistry for the better or worse.
Finally, nothing places you in a positive mindset & mood more than being in a fun place. We don’t go to work – we go play and share our “playground & toys” with our clients! We have fun and it is contagious to anyone and everyone who is nearby. We take what we do seriously…just not ourselves! If you are going to heal – might as well have fun doing it!
If you are in need of regaining your mobility, active lifestyle, health, fitness, or life without the use of painkillers and You Are Not Feeling Valued, look elsewhere…”Your Home” may be closer than you think! Find a place that Values You as much as You Value Yourself!
Go Adventuring!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming…
ps: If you found this *, be the first to call, give the four digit code and you will win a prize. Need to come to the clinic by Tuesday (6/18/19) to claim it in person.
Having experienced the frustration of going to a provider and not seeing results, and feeling like you are more important to their bank balance than as a patient in need of help, this piece really spoke to me.
Finding someone who truly cares about who you are and where you are on your journey of recovery makes the world of difference.
Thank you for caring enough to truly care.
