We Return Our Patients to Normal Function
in 10-12 Visits With Our Integrated Functional Approach!
ALL-ACCESS Physical Therapy, Inc.'s mission is to ensure that our patients and clients achieve their functional/sports goals.It is our goal to provide the highest quality of physical therapy care, education, and consultation within the communities and patient populations we serve.
We believe our 10-12 physical therapy visits per patient
average is outstanding based on the results we achieve in
those visits. Other physical therapy clinics may have lower
visits per patient averages, but their patients are being
discharged without their goals and functional capacity in
mind. Pain free movement should not be the only indicator
of normal function! Too often we hear of patients receiving
physical therapy at other clinics then being discharged the
minute they are pain free. We know because the same patients
then see us for treatment because they have re-injured themselves.
The reason: they were originally discharged too soon without
achieving optimal functional movement and stability to avoid
further injury.
So, What is the Integrated Functional Approach?
When addressing a patient's problem, we look at their body
as a whole. In other words, we don't just address the injured
body part. We evaluate the entire body (Kinetic chain) to
determine the source(s) of the pathology. We are able to increase
mobility and stability to the injured area by educating patients
on how to activate surrounding muscle groups more effectively.
This improves their functional movement and stability and
allows them to remain pain free once they have been discharged
from physical therapy.
Often, while in therapy, patients become pain free within
8 visits with this approach. But we don't discharge them because
we want to maximize their ability to move in different planes
of motion with increased resistance while maintaining proper
core stabilization. We take the same approach regardless of
the body part that has been injured. We find this approach
is effective with both non-surgical and post-surgical patients
and it is why we continue to build our reputation among patients
and physicians alike.
Our Experience Using the Integrated Functional Approach
We use the Integrated Functional Approach (IFA) to help patients
achieve optimum function as soon as possible. In order to
utilize these treatment protocols effectively, we have been
thoroughly trained in 50 manual therapy techniques which help
our patients to increase their flexibility, decrease muscle
spasm, improve joint alignment, improve neuromuscular function,
improve posture, and relieve pain. This allows us to effectively
teach our patients the exercise programs they will need to
return to normal function comfortably.We like to get our patients moving. In addition to being
an excellent therapist, owner Mark Powicki, is a Certified Strength
and Conditioning Specialist. Through his work with nationally
recognized strength and conditioning specialists Mark has
helped us to develop 300 exercises, all incorporating core
stabilization techniques, to choose from in order to help
our patients return to normal function quickly. Mark has invented
25 of the exercises we use himself. We often combine exercises
to better simulate functional movement patterns and increase
strength in the muscles and therefore better joint stability
for better movement without pain.
