Shift Physical Therapy
You probably saw our post on social media about Shift Physical Therapy, well if not, here is a bit of an introduction! We LOVE them so much and we know you will too!
Shift Physical Therapy and Wellness: Two moms who are passionate about health and wellness with an educational background in physical therapy, here’s our story… Jackie and I worked together previously in outpatient physical therapy and shared many common beliefs about how to treat patients, but also more than that - how to treat people - how to really, truly, see and hear the person’s story.
At some point, Jackie and I had individually become lost in our own personal health and wellness journeys, and found ourselves losing our spark and passion for helping others to reach their goals in physical therapy. It was time to Make a SHIFT.
Starting Shift Physical Therapy and Wellness allowed Jackie and I to focus our careers on our love for helping to educate and empower individuals (especially women) to take control of their own health and wellness journey. As mentioned earlier, making a SHIFT was important in our own personal and professional lives. Within that SHIFT, the values of Shift Physical Therapy and Wellness are incorporated into the name of our company:
S = Self - Love
H = Hard Work
I = Inspiration
F = Family
T = Trust
The passion and spark were re-ignited! Jackie and I are able to provide a positive and supportive environment for our patients to tell their story and help them to reach their goals. We truly have the ability to focus on the whole person in front of us and provide guidance and coaching for whatever needs that person has. At Shift Physical Therapy and Wellness, we specialize in women’s health/pelvic floor outpatient physical therapy, offer traditional physical therapy services, provide nutrition and fitness coaching, as well as offering several exercise classes.
Choosing to be an out-of-network physical therapy provider allows us to focus our attention on the patient in front of us, rather than reacting to the requirements of the insurance provider. We are able to spend a full hour with our patient during each session and can often see our patients for less overall visits because we approach our care in a holistic manner without concern about whether or not an insurance company will “cover” what the patient needs during that visit. Offering wellness services outside of traditional physical therapy visits again provides the opportunity to fully serve our patient’s needs for important lifestyle changes including coaching them in areas of fitness and nutrition.
In our health care system, unfortunately, people are often given medications as a first line of treatment to treat a symptom, or told to “lose weight” without being given any tools on how to do that, or sent through a whirlwind of specialists where focus becomes narrowed in to one problem or one symptom rather than addressing the myriad of symptoms the patient is experiencing. At Shift Physical Therapy and Wellness we provide real, sustainable solutions and unlimited support to our patients. Our fitness coaching uses everyday equipment - not the latest $5,000+ piece of equipment. Our nutrition coaching focuses on real food and real sustainable changes rather than spending hundreds or thousands of dollars in specialized products or shakes. Jackie and I are real people, real moms who understand the balance of work and family, who work to empower other women on their own health and wellness journeys. Specializing in women’s health/pelvic floor physical therapy, we help women address changes their own bodies may be facing (many of which are often embarrassing for the patient). Jackie and I provide a comfortable and relatable environment to help patients gain back confidence and control of their bodies.
We also have a strong passion for collaborating with other wellness businesses. Where we excel in physical therapy, fitness, and nutrition we also see phenomenal benefits from chiropractic care. Collaborating allows us to work with other wellness experts like the team at True North Chiropractic, to bring you that much closer to reaching your goals.
If you are looking to make a Shift in your health and wellness, we are here to educate and empower you on that journey!
