What you should expect from modern evidence based Physical Therapy!

foto1If you have been to our office, you have been asked to fill out a survey on a tablet. In addition to being a health history questionnaire, the survey is also allowing us to track and predict the outcomes of our patients. The system we use is called FOTO (Focus on Patient Outcomes) and there are 1000’s of other PT clinics across the world that also use it…and we get to compare how we do against them! The result of these functional surveys is what drives our practice into constant improvement. Any deficits we uncover in our results are acted upon quickly and thoroughly with clinical education and training for our staff.  Here at Portsmouth Physical Therapy we only incorporate proven, evidence based treatments in combination with a welcoming, patient-centric environment…and our FOTO outcome results prove that what we are doing works.  Gone are the days of what we refer to as “try this, try that” physical therapy. We utilize technology to assist our clinical decision making and apply the best current evidence in setting our individualised treatment plans.

Here’s a quick snap shot of our results from the past year. Overall functional improvement outcomes:  We are within the 95th percentile of all participating facilities internationally.  Our overall patient satisfaction scores:  we are routinely in the 98th percentile!!! We blew away the national average scores for improvements in back, neck, shoulder, and knee disorders!
