Australian Manual Physical Therapy opened for business in June 2008 in Royal Oak, Michigan. The mission: “To provide an outstanding Physical Therapy experience in a patient-focused environment with an unwavering foundation of scientific principals and customer service. To set the standard in delivery and quality of care.”
Five years in private practice in Hawaii, one year as a Clinic Director in Denver, Colorado, 4 years at the University of Michigan in a clinical and teaching role and several years working in private practice have given me a myriad of experiences to draw on in building the ideal clinics. I have tried to create a culture which truly embraces my core values. Physical Therapy is a service and as such we will provide you an elite level of care from your initial phone call to your Discharge. The primary treatment approach of Australian Manual Physical Therapy is the practice of Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) at the expertise level of a specialist. OMT has a long and trusted tradition in mainstream medicine and is used on occasion by many Osteopaths. Unfortunately, the evolution of health care today has made the specialty practice in OMT a rarity. We consider our practice to be the next level of care. Patients most appropriate for our practice include those with acute pain and those who have not responded to other types of care, including surgery. Patients are typically seen only 1-2 times per week and most sessions last between 25-40 minutes. I believe that Physical Therapy should be more than standing by you (or in the next room) with a clip board, whilst you perform a series of generic exercises that may or may not be specific to your problem. In some cases you may be aggravating the problem. We will assess you and treat you appropriately with a tailored hands-on and exercise approach to YOUR problem. Our philosophy is to maximize YOUR benefit in an environment tailored to YOUR success. If you have a spine or joint issue that has not responded to rest, medicine or traditional care, up to and including surgery, please talk to your physician about referring you to my office or call us to discuss whether you are a candidate |
