Here at N-Balance Physical Therapy our business model is to treat each patient one-on-one for up to an hour with a Doctor of Physical Therapy in every session. With this approach we usually only need to see the patient once per week. Due to progressively worsening reimbursement rates and pressure from insurance companies, the therapist at in-network clinics must see at least 2 patients per hour (sometimes more) and often use technicians and/or assistants to provide much of the actual patient care. Most of the patient’s time at the clinic is spent doing exercises that they could do on their own time and do not receive much hands-on treatment. Furthermore, these types of clinics tend to require patients to attend 2-3 appointments per week.
