Elite Sports Physical Therapy (ESPT) has joined forces with Pediatric Physical Therapist Linda J. O'Connor, MSPT, and will be offering some new services at their clinic for the Fremont community.
On November 7, ESPT entered into an agreement with Linda to contract her services, so more children in the area needing pediatric physical therapy could access her care. Already the Premier Sports and Orthopedic Rehabilitation Facility in the city, ESPT will not stray from it's focus to continue that vision while adding this new offering to the public.
"I was approached by Linda because she found that more and more state/regional insurances were denying coverage for kids that needed PT. So parents had to rely on their personal medical insurances to pay for care," states Jacon C. Chun, MPT, SCS, ATC, CSCS, President of ESPT.
"After talking the situation over with her, we were thrilled to have her use our facility to be able to provide this much needed service to her patients. As an In-Network provider for most major insurances, we'll be able to help her patients get the care that they deserve and that's what medicine is all about. It's not the numbers or bottom line that matters, it's the people," says Chun.
The following is a little more information about physical therapists from the Pediatric Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA):
What Is Pediatric Physical Therapy?
Pediatric physical therapists work to help children reach their maximum potential for functional independence through examination, evaluation, promotion of health and wellness, and implementation of a wide variety of interventions and supports. Pediatric PT's support children from infancy through adolescence and collaborate with their families and other medical, educational, developmental, and rehabilitation specialists. They promote the participation of children in daily activities and routines in the home, school, and community.
Pediatric physical therapy promotes independence, increases participation, facilitates motor development and function, improves strength, enhances learning opportunities, and eases care giving.
