I started the business 11 years ago due to requests from people to see them in their home or office. This was all very new to me at the time because in most cases physical therapists only went to the home to see patients if they were home-bound or had great difficulty leaving their home. I followed the lead of my personal trainer colleagues who were taking their clients out of the gym and seeing t

hem in their homes. The business started as a "side hustle" while I was working full-time at an outpatient clinic. I eventually accepted a part-time position in a different outpatient clinic so I could focus on slowly growing my in-home or concierge practice. Over the course of a few years, the part-time position faded and I went all-in on my own concierge or in-home physical therapy business. At Karen Litzy Physical Therapy we provide one-on-one care that includes the following offerings to our clients in the comfort of their home or office:

Physical therapy services that includes manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and modalities as needed. Personal training/wellness services that includes a fitness evaluation, individualized exercise prescription, and an app for their home exercise program. Telehealth or virtual sessions conducted over a HIPAA compliant and secure platform
Golf Fitness and Performance sessions that include a thorough review of their swing, initial evaluation, communication with trainer or golf pro, and a program to address range of motion, strength, balance, and performance. Pre and Post-surgical care packages that include in-home visits prior to surgery to evaluate their needs and environment, follow-up care after surgery as per MD protocols, and eventual transition to an outpatient clinic or to full pre-surgical state. Adolescent and adult sports injury care and return to performance. We are based in Manhattan and out coverage area is all of Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, and Long Island City!

In this episode, we talk about leadership in the profession that f physical therapy.

My top three takeaways are:

👉 embrace your leadership journey. Whether you are a student or a seasoned professional, everyone has leadership potential, you just have to start somewhere.

👉 the power of mentorship. Finding a great mentor that can help you transition into leadership role whether it’s in the profession of physical therapy, in your community, or in your school is priceless.

👉 get involved and take action. If you are physical therapist and you want to get involved you can do so on the state or national level within your respective organizations!

I hope you find these takeaways as inspiring as I did.

🌟 New Podcast Episode Alert! 🌟

Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to announce the latest episode of the Healthy, Wealthy, and Smart Podcast, featuring the incredible Dr. Mike Studer, author of the new book The Brain That Chooses Itself. In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of behavioral economics and how it can transform our approach to physical therapy and patient care. Here are three key takeaways that I think you’ll find particularly enlightening:

Understanding Behavioral Economics: Dr. Studer breaks down the concept of behavioral economics, which is essentially the study of how humans make decisions. He highlights two main principles: nudging and gamification. Nudging involves making it easier for individuals to make healthier choices, like suggesting small, manageable exercise "snacks" instead of overwhelming them with the idea of a full workout. Gamification taps into our competitive nature by tracking progress and rewarding achievements, making the journey toward better health more engaging and fun!

Personalized Care through Choice: One of the most powerful insights from our conversation is the importance of personalizing treatment plans. Dr. Studer emphasizes that it’s not just about following clinical guidelines based on a diagnosis; it’s about understanding what motivates each individual. By leveraging concepts like temptation bundling—pairing a less desirable task with something enjoyable—we can help patients make healthier choices they are more likely to stick with. This approach enhances patient engagement and fosters a sense of autonomy and control over their health.

Health Span vs. Life Span: Dr. Studer introduces the critical distinction between health span and life span. While life span refers to how long we live, health span focuses on how well we function during those years. He shares actionable strategies to improve our health span, such as engaging in regular physical activity, prioritizing quality sleep, nurturing social connections, and even embracing a little discomfort through challenges. The goal is to empower individuals to take charge of their health and well-being, ensuring that they live longer and enjoy a higher quality of life.

I can’t wait for you all to listen to this episode! Dr. Studer’s insights apply to physical therapists and anyone looking to enhance their health and well-being. Tune in now and discover how to use these principles in your life!
