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 />

Sylvania • 6060 Renaissance Place, Suite E • 419-824-2020<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 />

the web at www.yourptc.com.<br />
