5 Misconceptions About Vertigo and Dizziness, |
6 Surprising Benefits of Having Convenient In-Home Concierge Physical Therapy in New York City |
Six (6) Surprising Benefits of Having In-Home/Concierge Physical Therapy in New York City
1.) No Traveling To The Doctor
Your time is valuable, especially if you are a busy professional. We travel to your home apartment, your office workplace, (or, your hotel room if you are currently visiting New York City).
Even if you are retired or semi-retired, you are still a busy New Yorker. And, depending on your schedule and your preferences, you may prefer to have a Doctor of Physical Therapy travel to you if or for you to sort out your ache, pain, or balance/movement issue.
2.) No Waiting in the Lobby at Your Doctor's Office
That's right. Since we come to you for pain relief treatment or neurological balance and gait treatment, you will now spend less time sitting and waiting in your doctor's office. This will save your time and frustration. Have you ever been sitting in a doctor's office and the front desk person does not tell you an expected wait time? Or, worse, they tell you the wait may be "20-30 minutes" but it's been nearly an hour and they still haven't called your name to bring you back to a room! Ugh!
3.) Discreet and Private Service
Since we travel to you and offer a concierge-style service, it is discreet and private. No one will know that you are getting any type of pain relief service or physical therapy treatment. You won't be seen entering or exiting your doctor's/therapist's office.
4.) We Evaluate Your Home Computer Set Up (Ergonomics)
At no additional charge, and since we travel to you, we can assess and evaluate your home computer set up and workstation. We also can check your computer chair height, position, and your posture while working from home. This is a silent source of our client's back pain, neck pain, and even migraine headaches. Once we address this and fix it, you should be able to work longer while feeling relaxed and much more comfortable.
Additionally, many clients will offer to show us their bed pillow and/or ask us to evaluate their mattress. We will check the amount of support and cushion that your bed pillows and mattress are currently providing for you. We may make specific suggestions on types of pillows or mattress based on your condition and depending on your current needs.
Plus, for our client's who are 65+ or 75+ who have fallen once in the last 1-2 years, we will also offer a home assessment. During this home assessment, we will evaluate the safety of your home apartment. Often times we will be communicating these findings with you (the client) directly as well as your family members (spouse, son, daughter, brother, sister, etc). We understand that it's important to you maintain your dignity and integrity while thriving at home and living your life independently. Also, we know it's important to you be able to maintain control on your life's decisions. We take that very seriously and will respect your ultimate decision on any potential safety suggestions in regards to your home.
5.) Schedule Dates and Times That You Prefer
Depending on the current schedule of your doctor of physical therapy, you have the ability to schedule your home visits at your leisure. Please do let us know your time and day preferences. Some of our clients prefer mornings or mid-day, while others prefer afternoons or evenings. At the same time, some clients want Monday, Wednesday, Friday visits and some like Tuesday/Thursday visits. If a new client is in a lot of pain or they require a lot of one-one-one time and attention, then often times they request 5 to 7 days per week of concierge physical therapy treatment, and then wean down from there in the future.
6.) Same Therapist (Doctor of Physical Therapy) Visiting You for Each Home Visit
At some outpatient rehabilitation offices, you may be seen and treated by several different therapists and providers. However, at Concierge Pain Relief, you will be evaluated and treated by the same doctor of physical therapy for all of your follow up visits. This is assuming that you really like your therapist. If there's any issues or if it's just not the right fit, then let us know, and we can arrange another doctor of physical therapy for you.
However, sometimes new clients requesting 5-7 days of therapy per week. In this instance, sometimes there will be two or three therapists based on their availability. Either way, we will try our best to accommodate your request.
Regardless of what you are looking for, we likely can accommodate your requests.

SI Joint Dysfunction
The Sacroiliac Joint (SI Joint) is involved in about 22% of patients with lower back pain.
The pain and dysfunction of the SI Joint is often overlooked and underdiagnosed by physicians.
The pain pattern can overlap with spine (lower back) and hip conditions. Which is the main reason why it is often missed by physicians or physical therapists who are making a diagnosis.
Some physicians may not think of the SI Joint as a pain generator in the case of lower back pain.
It's possible that some doctors may not know about SI Joint dysfunction because they do not se it enough or treat it enough.
Patients may end up seeing multiple physicians, doctors of physical therapy or other health care providers, get multiple diagnoses, and get many imaging studies including x-ray, MRI, or diagnostic ultrasound imaging.
The only way that true SI Joint pain can be diagnosed is by a proper movement screen typically performed by a doctor of physical therapy...
Where you (the patient) may have pain with bending, twisting, prolonged sitting, getting up from a chair, or walking up stairs.
SI Joint Dysfunction - Self Test: "Fortin Finger Test"
The Fortin Finger Test is a diagnostic tool to help find and confirm SI Joint dysfunction. Here's how the test is performed:
The patient will point to the spot on their body that is most irritable or where they feel a majority of their current lower back pain.
Once the individual points to the location, the doctor of physical therapy memorizes the spot and allows the patient to relax.
Five to ten minutes later, the doctor asks the patient again to point to the area where they feel the most pain. A positive Fortin finger test is determined by when the patient twice identifies their most painful region within one centimeter of the area known as the posterior superior iliac spine.
The test is positive (+) because it shows the patient is able to consistently identify the source of pain even though some time has passed.
A positive result from the Fortin Finger Test indicates a strong likelihood that the patient is dealing with an SI Joint condition.
See the image below to see the specific area that we're talking about...
Now that you have read above, have you performed the test yourself?
Do you have a spouse or family member who can confirm that your finger is also pointing to the same location described in the Fortin Finger Test? Or, are you able to confirm this location by standing in front of a large mirror to see the reflection of where your finger is pointing to?
Either you have a high likelihood of your SI Joint being your source of pain, or it would be a low likelihood.
Now that you have gotten a little more clarity about your potential root cause of your lower back/SI Joint pain...
Are you at the point where you are trying to resolve it on your own? Or, are you at your "wits end" in finding and fixing the root cause of this pain?
If you are ready to have an expert doctor of physical therapy find and naturally fix the root cause of your pain...
In a convenient manner where we travel to you...
Then, feel free to contact us by writing into the "Contact Us" form or by calling us any time 24/7 at (646)-781-8884.
Can Home Physical Therapy Fix or Help Scoliosis?
Yes. But, first, read on below...
What Is Scoliosis?
As your son or daughter approaches age 10, you may notice a new part of his or her annual physical visit: a scoliosis screening.
Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve in an S or C shape rather than remain a straight vertical spine. And, it often times is noticeable between the ages of 9 and 16. Similar to other conditions, the earlier scoliosis is diagnosed, the better.
Signs and Symptoms of Scoliosis?
- Chronic Back Pain,
- Neck Pain or Headaches,
- Shoulder Pain,
- Posture issues,
- One shoulder blade is higher than the other,
- Difficulty breathing,
- Curved spine,
- Restricted bending, twisting, or rotating movements.
What Will Your Doctor of Physical Therapy Recommend?
- Do stretches and movements that can help reduce pain,
- Diaphragmatic breathing,
- Posture exercises for strength and endurance,
- Stay active as possible when pain-free,
- Specific sleeping positions best for you,
- Particular pillows or mattresses best for you.
