Virtual Physical Therapists (VPT) is a nationally recognized provider of telerehabilitation services. Their aim is to disrupt the current approach to treating musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) by offering faster, better, and more convenient care at a reduced cost. With the prevalence of MSD affecting one in every two Americans and costing a staggering $796 billion annually, VPT recognizes the urgent need for a more effective and affordable solution.
Over the past two decades, the cost of treating MSD has skyrocketed by 117%, leading to an epidemic. Research has shown that many existing treatments are not only ineffective but also contribute to unnecessary care and prolonged disability. VPT believes that improved outcomes can be achieved through three key factors: early care that empowers patients, determination of directional preference, and the maintenance of activity.
By simply using a smartphone and internet access, VPT’s innovative application allows individuals to connect instantly with specialist clinicians, regardless of their location or time constraints. These experienced professionals evaluate musculoskeletal disorders, provide comprehensive education, and develop personalized treatment plans. Follow-up sessions are conducted as necessary to ensure the best possible outcomes. It is worth noting that all VPT clinicians are required to be Certified in Mechanical Diagnosis (MDT), with a strong focus on patient empowerment. MDT emphasizes the use of movement quality to identify the root cause of pain, rather than relying solely on hands-on skills. Extensive validation has been conducted on the outcomes of MDT, particularly when a directional preference is established.
The mission of VPT is to eliminate barriers and grant everyone access to mechanical assessments, enabling individuals to take charge of their own treatment. Compared to traditional care, VPT’s services are not only more affordable but also require half the average number of visits. By revolutionizing the way MSD is addressed, VPT aims to improve the lives of countless individuals while alleviating the burden on healthcare systems.
