Our Philosophy

As the owner of Health Check Physical Therapy, my economic security in healthcare is dependent on the abilities that I have developed over the past 30 years. My experience in healthcare is comprehensive and multi-disciplinary as a certified health and physical education teacher, licensed physical therapist, athletic trainer, and strength & conditioning specialist as well as a successful physical therapy private practice owner. Over my career, I managed two major hospital sports medicine programs and managed the care of professional athletes of the Philadelphia Eagles and Pennsylvania Ballet.

As healthcare changes with the consolidation of physician private practices into larger hospital and physician-owned networks, my 16-year practice continues to flourish! The number of clients seeking physical therapy care through direct access, meaning no physician prescription needed, has increased dramatically. HOW is this possible with all the formidable competition!? The answer is simple: provide better and more comprehensive service. Every single person we evaluate and treat is completely educated about their condition and is shown how physical therapy will help them. Our plan of care is a two-step process: get you out of pain and teach you exercises to keep you out of pain and return you to function. Care is multi-disciplinary and involves strategies to reduce discomfort, correct joint malalignments, restore range of motion, strengthen through exercises and improve function through total body activities. We also discuss nutrition and weight loss strategies to revive energy and get you back and better than ever before to participating in activities that make your life meaningful again.

Part of the Health Check way is the overall wellness of the community. I have been researching many of the nutritional supplements on the market and analyzing which ones seem to provide the best quality value for my patients. This includes burning visceral fat, increasing energy, and improving the quality of life to your days. This is the philosophy I believe and have incorporated into this practice.

In addition to high demands for quality care, there has been a dramatic increase in costs of physical therapy services due to consolidation of private orthopedic surgeons into larger conglomerates. This is why you are seeing higher co-pays, deductibles, and premiums. Here at Health Check, you not only get the best care, but also an economically better option.
