I’m one of those 45 million Americans who’s uninsured. My husband is self-employed, and I’m a stay-at-home-mom. Monthly premiums for private insurance are costly. We’re in our mid-30s, and at our age it makes more sense to pay our relatively low medical expenses out of our own pocket. We can save and invest the huge chunks of cash we would pay out for insurance every month. Since being responsible for paying all our own medical costs, I’ve discovered that you can save quite a bit of money if you inquire about discounts, compare prices and even seek out non-traditional forms of treatment.
Recently I discovered PT Choices, a website that offers an online, money-saving alternative to traditional physical therapy. Through their website PT Choices connects you with a licensed physical therapist. You consult with your therapist virtually, and they create a program to meet your needs. Simple to follow videos lead you through the exercises in the privacy of your own home at your convenience.
Here are two examples of the videos:
Even if you have insurance you may find yourself in need of an alternative to traditional physical therapy. Often insurance companies pay very little of physical therapy costs, and cut you off before you’ve completed treatment. PT Choices can help you affordably complete your rehabilitation. If you’re unable to leave your home or simply can’t fit in therapy during normal hours, PT Choices might also be the answer for you. As a busy mom I can certainly see how it might be difficult to make it to appointments or find someone to watch my kids when I go. With PT Choices I wouldn’t need to leave home.
Here are some other reasons why PT Choices might be right for you:
– You have a recent injury or acute pain and need advice on what to do.
– You experience recurring pain and limitation affecting your ability to tolerate activities you wish to perform.
– You desire to begin an exercise routine but have had injuries in the past and would like a licensed physical therapist to guide and progress your exercise program.
PT Choices feels strongly about making physical therapy affordable and accessible to all those who need it. They know not completing the proper course of treatment and rehabilitation after an injury can lead to further risk of injury and complications for years to come.
More information about PT Choices is available on their website and you can also connect with them on Facebook.
If you or a family member needs physical therapy consider PT Choices. Let them help you take control of your health.
