Focal Point Physical Therapy

09/15/2021

Sorry to say that I am currently not seeing patients at Focal Point due to the ramifications of PA lockdowns during the pandemic. While the facility out of which I was working has reopened, the length of time of the lockdown did not allow the business to recover.Thank you for your support.

Pain doesn't take a break during social distancing. A valid history and observed movements can be assessed during a video consult (facetime or Zoom options), with home exercise prescribed, accordingly. No physical contact required. PayPal and Venmo payment options ($30 for initial/up to 30min; $10 for follow-up up to 15min). Give me a call (215-803-3347) and enjoy conversing with someone outside your household 😁

Why physical examination is more important than a “picture”

Overcoming injuries is contingent on getting the right treatment. And getting the right treatment is contingent on getting the right diagnosis.

Why use a Credentialed McKenzie provider?
1) Receive a detailed review of your history with your ACTIVE involvement during the examination process to establish a clear direction for your individualized plan of care.
2) Perform specific guided exercises, postures and behaviors prescribed for you, receiving immediate feedback on progressions and modifications that may include hands-on techniques.
3) Learn how to self-treat your impairment to minimize your risk of recurrence or need for ongoing supervised care (fewer appointments = lower cost!)
You're in control!

A study of patients with low back pain finds that those who got physical therapy first needed fewer pricey scans and surgeries and had "significantly lower out-of-pocket costs" for treatment overall.
