WELLNESS
In addition to providing therapy services, Atlantic Physical Therapy now offers a Post Rehabilitation Wellness Program at both the Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach locations.
The Wellness Program was designed to allow for a more positive and smooth transition between hands-on physical therapy and full independence with a home exercise program. In the past, many patients were discharged to continue exercises at home, or in a gym setting. Without having a supervised component in their exercise program, noncompliance and the risk of re-injury was high.
Upon joining the Wellness Program, professional staff will design an individual exercise program for each participant. This exercise program is tailored to the participant's specific needs whether it be continued strengthening and mobility following a surgery, or improved cardiovascular endurance for weight management. Medical clearance from the client's physician is required to ensure the safety of each participant. Supervision is tailored to the needs of the participant. One does not have to be a prior patient of Atlantic Physical Therapy to participate in the Wellness Program. The program is open to those who are not formerly patients, with an assessment performed by the Atlantic Physical Therapy staff prior to beginning.
The Post Rehabilitation Wellness Program has been a great success. Atlantic Physical Therapy is happy to be able to offer such a beneficial program to the Horry County area. |
