PROGRESS IN PERRYSBURG–JULY <strong>2010</strong><br />
LOW BACK PAIN?<br />
When Mike Olmstead, PT, Cert. MDT,<br />
and Julie Olmstead, PT, Cert. MDT,<br />
opened Physical Therapy Consultants<br />
seven years ago, they were committed to<br />
making sure their patient’s choices in selecting<br />
PTC over others for Physical Therapy<br />
were met with appreciation and a solid<br />
set of core principals. Today, those principals<br />
remain unchanged.<br />
According to Mike Olmstead, “Exchange<br />
in abundance is a core principal of<br />
PTC. We believe in giving one hundred<br />
percent of our effort and attention to treating<br />
you, in exchange for one hundred percent<br />
of your effort and attention in getting<br />

Oregon • 2739 Navarre Avenue, Suite 303 • 419-698-3520<br />
well. It’s a simple concept which produces<br />
incredible results.”<br />
Another core principal of PTC is making<br />
sure patients are evaluated, treated and<br />
successfully discharged by the same physical<br />
therapist. According to co-founder<br />
Julie Olmstead, “Over the past 17+ years<br />
we’ve been in practice the nature of physical<br />
therapy has trended toward large facilities<br />
staffed with many practitioners and<br />
assistants, but at what cost to the patients?<br />
Much of the treatment in some larger facilities<br />
is administered by physical therapist<br />
aides and assistants, with physical<br />
therapists taking a smaller, though no less<br />

important role in patient care. The results<br />
are patients bouncing between many individuals,<br />
never becoming comfortable with<br />
one physical therapist, and feeling like cattle.<br />
That is a trend to which we don’t subscribe.”<br />
Another point which many in the general<br />
public are not aware of is that due to<br />
legislation passed in Ohio anyone can seek<br />
treatment for physical therapy without first<br />
obtaining a doctors referral. “Any community<br />
member may now seek physical<br />
therapy without a physician’s referral, provided<br />
they are paying out-of-pocket, or<br />
their insurance will allow physical therapy<br />
without a referral. As a private citizen this<br />
is a first step toward your controlling how,<br />
when and whom you see for your physical<br />
therapy treatments. When you consider<br />
that up until now the decision had mostly<br />
been made for you, this is a huge win for<br />
anyone who truly values their freedom of<br />
choice.”<br />
In addition to the <strong>Perrysburg</strong> facility,<br />
Physical Therapy Consultants has locations<br />
in Oregon and Sylvania<br />
PTC accepts most insurance plans, as<br />
well as, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and<br />
American Express. PTC can be located on<br />
