Walk with us through Imagine Performance Therapy’s patient journey.
Often times when we get injured the path to recovery and return to regular activity can be uncertain. There are many routes an individual can take when faced with injury.
We can continue on, ignoring pain, only to end up frustrated.
We can stop everything out of fear and discomfort.
Or
We can seek help.
When we finally decided to seek help, we have a lot of options on what provider to choose. It can be very confusing on who will address your issue most appropriately. Should you see your PCP, an orthopedic, chiropractor or physical therapist? The truth is, all of them are qualified to perform an examination and provide some answers to what may be going wrong.
At Imagine Performance Therapy our goal is to get to the ROOT cause of your issue. This unfolds even before your first visit with us. Every potential patient gets set up with a DISCOVERY call. This allows us to understand the issue you are dealing with and ensure that we are the best fit to provide your care. Once we have established that we are a good fit to work together, we get you in ASAP. At your first visit, we will dive deep into your exercise history. This allows us to fully understand where your issue may of started and what all we need to examine during your evaluation. Injuries can be complex, so more often than not, our examination continues past the first visit to ensure that we are addressing you as a whole and not getting tunnel vision on the area where you have pain.
Once we start our treatment plan together, our goal is helping to keep you active despite your injury. Too often I hear from individuals that they have completely stopped exercising or started avoiding a certain movement because of injury. This narrative is frustrating. At Imagine Performance Therapy, our goal is to help you REACTIVATE your movement. The worst thing you can do during injury is become inactive. This sets you ups for other issues such as injury to another area, becoming deconditioned and lowing quality of life by avoiding activities you love. We pride ourselves on showing patients just how much they can still do while addressing an injury.
As you continue with your Imagine Performance Therapy journey, you are going to notice that you feel better within 2-3 visits. This is the time when many people abandon the process because they do not feel they need help anymore. They jump back into prior activities at 110%. Unfortunately, what tends to happen is their symptoms return and they start to think that physical therapy does not work. At Imagine Performance Therapy, when we get to this point, we like to step in and help you MANAGE load. At Imagine Performance Therapy, our goal is to be there every step of the way. As you start to feel better we want to help guide you appropriately back to 110%! With weekly check ins and concierge access to your physical therapist, this is a reality! This helps you avoid guessing just how much your body can handle!
Now, you are at the point where you have returned to your previous training plan. You are feeling great and know exactly how to take care of your body. Traditionally, this is where physical therapy stops. But you have bigger goals in mind. Don’t worry, our relationship is not over yet! Many of our patients continue on with wellness visits so that we can help them OPTIMIZE their movement to reach those bigger goals! If you want to hit a personal best on a certain lift, we got you! If you want to run your first marathon, lets us help! If you want to summit one of the highest peaks, we would love to help you train! Imagine Performance Therapy wants to be there for you even after your injury has been resolved. Being active comes with the need for maintenance, and we are happy to provide!
At Imagine Performance Therapy our goal is to help keep the active individuals of Fort Worth active. We would love to walk through this journey with you and help you achieve your fitness or life goals!
