Whitney Physical Therapy is an
outpatient physical therapy clinic located on Route 322 in Clarion,
PA. We are a small family owned practice who has returned to a one
on one approach to healthcare. This business was established in
February 2012. Since opening, we have been committed to giving
patients the attention that they deserve.
On a more personal note, Richard
Whitney, P.T., has over 25 years of experience in physical therapy.
He has been a therapist in a variety of settings in the last 13 years
including private practice outpatient and home health. Prior to
becoming a therapist, he was a physical therapist assistant in the
Clarion area and a Physical Therapy Technician in the United States
Navy. He has experience in Orthopedics, Neurology, Balance
disorders, Pediatrics, and general Physical Therapy. He has truly
seen a need for the return of therapy where patients get one on one
service.
.
He has experienced the changes that
have occurred in the healthcare system where everything is faster and
bigger is better. Whitney Physical Therapy's business model has a
different approach. Our scheduling process limits the number of
patients that are scheduled per hour so that the therapist is
involved in your whole treatment and not just the evaluation or
recheck prior to your returning appointment to the physician. A
therapist should know the status of how the current treatment plan is
affecting you from the beginning to the end of your time in the
clinic. In a larger clinical setting, it seems that the patient can
sometimes become lost in the shuffle. Side by side supervision by the
therapist to determine the effectiveness of exercises or treatments
are actions that support the healing of patients. The patient's
concerns about their care are heard and addressed directly.
Whitney Physical Therapy has chosen
the approach of working with one patient at a time. This approach
allows more time for the application of manual therapy techniques
which accelerate the patient's healing. Manual and functional
techniques that require extended time with a therapist to produce
results are the main focus of our office.
A time can be remembered when no
gimmicks existed to get you in the door and just good quality care
was provided. Life is about choices. We can choose a local insurance
agent, dentist, or car dealer to serve our daily needs. Clarion's
choices for physical therapy are expanding and will continue to
expand. With more choices, you can choose the type of therapy that
works best for you. We, at Whitney Physical Therapy, hope you see us
as your small hometown physical therapy. We are a local, family owned
and operated clinic that is here to serve your family's physical
therapy needs.
