Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about REO Physical Therapy?
REO was created to help people become their best self. Unlike a traditional physical therapy clinic bogged down by the restrictions of insurance carriers – REO was built to allow patients to be in control of their own health and wellness. We do so by our 3 step process – the REO way: Step 1 – We look to RESTORE you to ideal function by eliminating pain & dysfunction Step 2 – EMPOWER you with the knowledge and resources to regain control of your own health & wellness and lastly step 3 OPTIMIZE your physical ability in order to become your best self. We look to serve our patients as their Wellness Coordinators, not simply their PTs aiding them in navigation of their health/wellness journey utilizing a holistic approach. Here at REO our goal is the patient’s goal – whether they want to get back to playing with their kids pain free or running a marathon.
What’s our story and how do we differ? See I created REO Physical Therapy years ago with the ultimate goal of helping patients find and/or gain their independence back in their wellness journey. It was fueled by a personal journey and struggle I had involving my grandfather. See during the final years of his life, he struggled to be in control of his health and well-being as his personal healthcare was dictated by external factors such as insurance, access, cost and poor medical education. In a world where the only thing we have true independence over is ourselves, it was tough to see his reliance on a healthcare system that was in turn failing him. Fueled by his story, I looked to create a place where people could take back control of their own health & wellness. Utilizing a multidisciplinary and holistic approach – REO’s mission is to help empower those who are dependent on relying on doctors, medication, injection and surgeries. It is our ultimate goal to help our patients regain their physical independence or as we like to call it become “physically wealthy.” In our everyday lives where our decisions and actions are fueled by financial abilities – we look to help others become “physically rich” – where they are not limited in their abilities based on their physical wellness status.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
Here at REO Physical Therapy we aim to do things a little bit differently. My name is Chris Scott, owner of REO and when I founded this practice 3 years ago it was created to give our patients the healthcare experience that they finally deserved. Today’s medical model is tough to navigate, as it is clouded with rising costs, decreased quality of care, unreasonable wait times, numerous hoops to jump through and a lack of attention, personalization or understanding of the thing that matters most – which is you, the patient.
At REO Physical Therapy – the patient comes first, as with our patented three step process we look to bridge the gap from pain and dysfunction to optimal performance.
We do so by administering the highest quality treatment, truly listening to and then educating the patient, with the ultimate goal of empowering them to independence when it comes to their health and wellness.
See humans are quite complex and this is why we like to say we serve more as your Wellness Coordinators here, not simply your physical therapists. We look to aid you in all facets of life – physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.
Due to this model we have saved countless patients from needing to get imaging, undergoing surgeries and ultimately time loss from either occupational or recreational activities
Whether you are coming in after an injury, a surgery or just looking to become the best version of yourself, the team here at REO are committed to helping you on your journey. So what are you waiting for, come on in.
